Havona (Weather Report) - Matteo Mancuso - Stefano India - Giuseppe Bruno 

Noone talking about the bassist, playing Jaco's bassline, that was amazing.

This kid's guitar really sings. Something about the tone, the vibrato, the precise timing...I don't know. Lots of players can play technical stuff like this but this guy actually makes me feel something when I listen to him. Also, let's not forget how amazing the bassist and drummer are!

You can tell you're listening to amazing musicians when the bass player is laying down the fattest groove ever but is looking like he's waiting for the printer to finish 1:22

Being a bassist myself, I have to say the bass player's tone and execution . . just beautiful . . However, all 3 of you are seriously talented players . No weak links . love it

Unbelievable. Fusion is in new, safe hands.

This supergroup needs to tour the world, They are incredible.

I'm here because Steve Vai dropped your name and I can see why. God has gifted you with a feel for what you play. Beautiful. Hats off to Stefano and Giuseppe as they also appear to be virtuosos as well!

That Bass player is awesome.

You don't get that level of musical insight and proficiency at such a young age unless you've been on earth a few times.

Probably one of the most talented guitarists in the world!! 🙌

This whole trio is at a level that is hard to imagine. Of course what Matteo is doing is at a new level with his instrument, but they are all extremely musical as well as world class virtuosos! So wonderful to see young musicians who are carrying on, in fact expanding, this type of music!

Ascoltare questi ragazzi è un piacere. Sarà anche un genere di nicchia ma quanta classe rispetto a ciò che è la musica oggi

Wish you a brilliant and long career.

What the fuck is this ???? This is epic! All three musicians .. if you stay till the end, the drummer does some amazing things! Not that the whole time he wasn't doing great things, but the last few minutes, he just does some super slick things! I can't describe them, cuz I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what it is ! It just sounds amazing. And the bassist ? OUUFFFF.... And those chords ... to 'back' the bass as he solos ... oh my ! These guys are amazing!

I’m glad these three top musicians have found each other....

Chitarra straordinaria, basso straordinario, batteria straordinaria. Da musicista apprezzo, ammiro e ringrazio

I hope Yamaha appreciates what they've got in this guy. A one-man demo machine who makes their guitar sing in spectacular fashion. Incredible talent.

I'm a hard rock guitar player, but THIS is so incredibly good. I am so inspired. Beautiful playing !!!

Brilliant! Mixing old and new sound and style. I think Jaco would have been proud of this rendition.

It strikes me how relaxed these guys are! We knew already Matteo is playing out of the league, but this bass and drums ... wtf man. Simply mind blowing.

Credo sia ormai palese che il sig. Matteo Mancuso provenga da qualche recondito pianeta extra-solare e sia atterrato sulla terra sotto forma di chitarrista mostruoso! Vai compà...rumpici u culu a tutti!

oh..... I'm here again watching this again.... I suspect this might be the 100th time and I'm not getting tired of it at all.

The Worst part about this is that it ENDS... I could listen to this for HOURS This is some Amazing stuffThanks y'all for sharing your Talents

OH - M Y - G O D ! ! You need to understand how hardcore I am as a Zawinul fan when I say that I actually named my own son after him - so THAT:S how seriously I take this. Then I fell upon this musician last week and was simply blown away. And then this evening I notice that he has done a cover of my all time favourite Zawinul piece and I clicked on it expecting to hear something good but it would be - again - "yeah its alright but it ain't Joe" , but I have been simply blown away by quite how amazing the whole treatment is!! BRAVISSIMO GUYS !!! I can honestly say - hand on heart, and I knew Joe, so this is real - he would have been impressed! And THAT'S the best compliment I could EVER give.

C'è speranza per l'Italia. Così giovani, così bravi , così appassionati.

Reminds me at times of "Road Games" era Holdsworth. The bass solo had a Berlin vibe. 👍🏽

By far the best guitarist today! I have seen the best live, from Frank Gambale, Steve Lukather, George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, Martin Miller, Steve Vai, you name him, I most likely have seen him live. I have played guitar since the 60's, Matteo has made guitar playing look so easy!

I love how creative and interesting this cover is. The drummer’s kicks are insane, and of course the bass is locked in.

I CANNOT get enough of Matteo Mancuso's guitar playing. Just an amazing musician...

I just can’t get over the right hand technique. Impeccable. The playing is so fluid. Not a shredfest or chops in your face. Great melodic ideas. Bass player and drummer also excellent.

Jaco was a genius and you guys would have just made him smile. That was beautiful! Thank you 🙏

What a great band and what an amazing guitarist. Doesn’t get much better then that young guy. That’s Holdsworth and EVH level stuff

I could listen to this all day. Drop a full album as a trio??

I just discovered Matteo's work here on YT. One of the things you notice in a great player is how relaxed they seem, even when they're laying down the most difficult and imaginative lines. They have a sort of serenity about them that comes from complete mastery of their instrument. I can't wait to hear more from Matteo and friends.

One the most beautiful thing I have ever listened. Not only guitar but also bass and drum was top notch. Quality so intense…

L'orgoglio della Sicilia e dell'Italia. Come si fa a suonare cosi bene all'eta' di 20 anni? Sono nati dei geni. Keep going boys! You're getting world wide attention. I hear big name players talking about you.

It amazes me that there are so many top, and I mean TOP quality young musicians out there today. I’m glad we have RU-vid to see them. When I was their age (70s), there was literally nothing out there for guitarists. I started with classical/flamenco in the late 60s, but wanted to play Beatles stuff, of course, and it was nearly impossible to find fingerstyle (or any other style) arrangements of their tunes.

These are the best without a doubt, the utmost professional musicians I have ever seen or heard in my life....and I'm an old man jazz buff!!!! Awesome there dudes....long may you run!

Al Di Meola said about him : this young Guitarist is a réal prodigy !!

Three great musicians, one spectacular performance...kudos !

I play classical guitar for 20 years and also electric with jazz and metal bands, love his finger style, control and feeling, controls greatly the attack and intensity at will, my favorite guitar player of all time

when you see a matteo holding a guitar, you know it's going to be great

Best guitarist i have ever seen!.Period!. This young guy is a genius

Sinceri complimenti Avanti così è grazie mille per le vostre esecuzioni così curate ... un bellissimo esempio per tutti ma soprattutto per i giovani

All three playing right in and out of each other in perfect harmony. Beautiful done!

I SIGNIFICANTLY prefer this over the original! Much cleaner and smoother. Guitar, bass, drums... all executed to perfection. Well done gents! 👏

Talented guys like these are the rays of hope for keeping the esense of true music alive 👍👍👍👍👍

Grazie Matteo sei emozionante!! Bravissimi anche gli altri; è un orgoglio sapere che l’Italia è in grado di regalare al mondo talenti del genere

Matteo is really amazing, and so are the drummer and the bass player. Really great version of Havona!

Santo dio avete una classe nel suonare ognuno il vostro strumento che incanta, e accarezza il cuore, tanto di cappello. Grazie ragazzi. Eccezionali

Listened to Havona by WR on the way home from golf the other day. Just found this. WINNING!!

How amazing is to see musicians this young being THAT mature.... I already knew about Matteo who of course is a scary monster... and is clear he choses very well musicians he plays with. Congratulations. Two thumbs up!

My favourite RU-vid guitarist! I felt happy when I saw you'd uploaded something new!!

They're on fire, but, their playing seems so relaxed. They know exactly what to do and are doing it like I would be humming a tuneless song while scratching myself in the morning. I don't know if that made any sense but, y''all know what I mean.

Wow! My heart is rejoyced as they explore new musical ground, new twist! They are so good. JAZZ FUSION

Azz... Complimenti. Ad occhi chiusi sembra di ascoltare musicisti navigati, invece li guardi e vedi che sono poco più che ventenni. Vi auguro un avvenire pieno di successi. Bravi davvero.

All the comments on RU-vid that everything is autotune now, that musicians don’t know how to play anymore, that the only good musicians were all from the 70’s. These young gentleman prove, without any doubt, the future of music is just fine and in excellent new young hands. It’s not just the playing here, the arrangement of Havona is stunning, astounding, incredible. I’ve been a pro musician (full time) for over 4 decades, but feel no need to defend my turf anymore…I most happily cede the stage to these fantastic young musicians. BRAVO!!!!!

That Bass Player WOW!!!!

Spectacular, sounds effortless, flows beautifully, wonderful work, not just a cover, a rebirth!

so musical: perfect timing and sounding

Kudos to Stefano for having the balls to do his own thing (and remarkably well) on the song that had maybe Jaco’s best solo ever.

There is hope for humanity after all!! As a guitar player I have always admired Guthrie's technique, musicality and improv ability but Matteo does stuff that makes me believe that he will eclipse everyone. And the bassist and drummer - super tight, awesome arrangement and such musical maturity. Would be great to hear some more original compositions from these guys.

Bravi, tutti!

It is so refreshing to hear a skilled guitarist play with CLEAN tone. I love distortion, too, but I find most guitarists fail miserably when they attempt to play clean. The whole band is wonderful, and I look forward to hearing more of these guys. Bravo!

A display of technical prowess that I can actually listen to. Beautiful and restrained. The tone and fluidity of Matteo's playing is just about unparalleled I would say. Thank you!

Ciao ragazzi, credo che sia inutile dirvi che siete fenomenali, mi auguro di vedervi presto dal vivo in sardegna.

Bass player is out of this world

MATTEO MANCUSO sei un talento e un piacere ascoltarti bel sound bella tecnica e prima di tutto musicalita bravi anche i tuoi compagni in avventura bravissimi ABRACCI DI CUORE!!!!!

4:28 the dynamics are sheer MAGIC !!!!

I saw WR twice in 1980 and met the band backstage. They played this composition. Thank you for keeping this great music alive. You guys are the next generation. Grazie Mille and Warmest thanks.🌞👍🇬🇧🌞

Matteo si troppu spacchiusu!!! Bravi, bravi, bravi!

Extraordinaire, un grand plaisir des oreilles, un grand merci à vous tous 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Best cover of this tune ive ever heard, and there's alot of em! And your new band is slamming!!!! Look forward to what's coming!

Trio arrangements really bring out how music should sound in my opinion. Larger ensembles rock but to hear this in this capacity is thrilling.

Steve Vai ha davvero ragione...questo ragazzo è talento puro! È bello sapere che c'è ancora oggi qualche ragazzo che fa musica davvero. Grazie Matteo

Everything is great, special kudos for the drums guy. 👍

I am trying to Work..!! But this music has enchanted my ears and my musical brain.. .must listen moooore!!! .

This is to me, having listened to almost everything this world has to offer, from Cassiopea to Cannibal Corpse, Rory Gallagher to Roy Clark. This is the greatest thing thats ever been played on these insturments. Its so mindblowingly beautiful.

Ma cosa siete ragazzi! Complimentissimi! Chitarrista col tocco alla Johnson incredibile! E basso e batteria assolutamente allo stesso livello. Complimenti di nuovo corro a condividere

Keep coming back to this one. Just love how precise the rhythm is. The tone on the bass is awesome. Drumming is crisp. And the guitar work is obviously amazing. All together just a super high quality performance. Hope to hear more from this trio.

Finally, some modern day music worth listening to! Really stellar!

I think I've listened this one for 500 hundred time

3 talenti al lavoro! Ragazzi siete bravissimi. Aspettiamo anche pezzi vostri!

Fantastic! A great arrangement for a guitar drums, and bass trio. Great to see young talent appreciating Weather Report and playing at this level! Congrats!!

Came here 4 matteo and ended up listening 2 the bassist more than anything 👍🏻😊

Let us not forget the bass player and the drummer. The fusion trio from heaven.

Fantastic bassist

Ragazzi siete fenomenali!!! Complimenti per davvero!!! Grande il batterista Peppe Bruno!!!

Non capisco quei 97 pollici in giù... anche chi non capisce niente di musica dovrebbe riconoscere il talento puro... è solo invidia che logora. Grande Matteo sei il miglior chitarrista del mondo.

Giuseppe Bruno is killer! Makes it look so effortless.

spettacolo, spettacolo proprio, 3 musicisti ottimi e musica geniale, bella da ascoltare e articolata senza confusione, sono rimasto veramente stupito, e ne sento tanta di musica e da tanto, complimentissimi, ripeto, 3 grandi... ottimissimo... grazie

It is like to enter into a different state of the mind. Beautiful trippy experience

How can so much talant fit into such a small room?Out of this world performance🤯🤘💜

Wow totally amazing Wow Wow the talent Thank you Matteo guitar master, Stefano bass master, Giuseppe drum master - ALL AMAZING!!!

His finger picking is amazing and so clean on the guitar.

Rhythm section with great touch, and sound ... you mix perfectly

instant fan!

Holy Eff... All three of them are amazeballs.

I listened to this a lot as a teenager in the 1980's. I have not heard the Heavy Weather original in quite many years now. I had it on cassette. When online music sharing became a thing, I found the MP3's, and burned them to a disc, and went through a period of listening to it again. I've listened to and watched this Matteo trio version a few times now and somehow have not gone back to hear the Zawinul original! I'm completely satisfied by this and it is accurate to my memory.

wow... this sounds spectacular!! awesome job. bass player is killing
