Originally from Mauritius now based in Paris, Linley’s true emergence on the world stage was with THE greatest bass-talent-scout in the world: Joe Zawinul. Linley was a member of Joe’s band for the last 5 years of Joe’s life and Joe called him “the best in the world”. Take Joe’s word for it. Or check him out for yourself with Joe Z on the album “75”.
