Help re: Zawinul bassist

pedulla1 · #1 09-30-2006, 06:39 PM

Hi all. Can someone that owns Joe Zawinul's CD "Faces and Places" tell me who plays bass on the following songs:

1-All About Simon
2-The Spirit of Julian "C" Adderley
3-Good Day

Sounds like the same bassist, probably Ettienne Mbappe. Good Day has to be one of the best 2-chord jams I've ever heard!!!
Thanks for your help.

Good ears, it's Etienne on all three.

Thanks for you help. Etienne JAMS! Him and Bona are my favorite bass players. Can you tell me which songs Linley Marthe plays on with Zawinul? Thanks again for your help. I also have the World Tour album but the online service does not let me see musician credits on songs.

I have most of Zawinul's albums and the only one I have that has Linley Marthe on it is the excellent double live 'Vienna Nights'. Marthe is awesome, Zawinul sure has great taste in bassist!

p.s. World Tour is Bailey and Bona.......

Thanks for the info, Jerry. I am going to get the live album. You've been a great help.

Linley plays some great stuff on a Karim Ziad disc, Ifrykia, which is great. Michel Alibo is on it also.

Thanks for the info. I will also look into that album.

Michel Alibo is great, you'll find him on a bunch of great recordings!
