Zawinul calls this band an "Ausländerband" (band of aliens): Fareed Haque, the "sitar meister who practiced all his lifetime" is from Pakistan, Arto Tuncboyaciyan is from Armenia, Paco Sery from Ivory Coast, Matthew "Matteo" Garrison (the son of bass legend Jimmy Garrison) has an Italian mother and Zawinul himself is of course from Vienna...
This is the first concert of a Zawinul series I´ll post here...

one remark on "Erdäpfe Blues" (Potato Blues): In this song Zawinul commemorates his parents "i hob vui erdäpfen gessen mit maanen öitern, oba jetz sans gsturm" (in english: with my parents i ate a lot of potatoes, now they are dead), and after this text line he plays the austrian national anthem "Land der Berge, Land am Strome" (music by W.A.Mozart)... http://peter-diem.at/hymne.mp3
