Joe Zawinul Speaks

Only one Joe Zawinul. When I was working at Jazz Central Station in 1997, I interviewed him. I had just purchased a High 8 camera and started recording my interviews. This is an excerpt from an interview that appeared on the Jazz Central Station website, which is long gone.

I've listened to all of that jazz while driving but when Joe comes in I have yo stop my car and get out do dancing you can't listen to this music on the road without causing accidents.

Joe's tombstone reads: "Er war ein ehrlicher Mensch. A decent human being."
I love him.

He was a very decent fellow.

So do you have the whole interview? I never heard or saw him like this before. Have you had all your interviews transcribed and made into a book? I admire the oral history you help create.

I'm not sure about rest of the interview. I have some High 8 video cassettes in a box and just haven't had the chance to go through them. But I will. Appreciate the kind words, Ivette.
