Concert Pick: In an exclusive live moment from the 2008 Basel Jazz Festival, Richard Bona salutes his great friend, the Viennese keyboard maestro Joe Zawinul (1932-2007). Bona says that Zawinul — who worked with Miles Davis and bassist Jaco Pastorius in Weather Report — was the only one who called on every birthday, no matter where Bona was, with the gruff message “Happy birthday, [unprintable jazz-world term of male bonding and affection].” Bona turns a colorful quilt of Zawinul themes into a moving tribute.
