With Joe’s spring tour commencing, I thought it would be a good time to interview Joe about the band and the upcoming tour. Joe granted me a
short interview, which I have posted here on Zawinul Online. Joe talks briefly about the band, the problem of bootleg recordings, and his new Vienna club, Joe Zawinul’s Birdland. I am also pleased to include several photographs by
Jos L. Knaepen, a Belgium-based photographer known as “The Jazzman.”
