	Joe Zawinul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Josef Erich Zawinul (born July 7, 1932 in Vienna, Austria) is a jazz keyboardist and composer.
		Zawinul, along with Corea and Hancock, was one of the first to integrate electric pianos and early synthesizers like the ARP 2600 in 73's Sweetnighter.
		Joe Zawinul is often credited with aiding revolutionary bass guitar virtuoso Jaco Pastorius in his rise to popularity by giving him the position as bass guitarist for Weather Report in the mid 1970's.

		Zawinul's curiosity and openness to all kinds of sounds made him one of the driving forces behind the electronic jazz-rock revolution of the late '60s and '70s -- and later, he would be almost alone in exploring fusions between jazz-rock and ethnic music from all over the globe.
		Zawinul has also shown renewed interest in his European roots, collaborating with fellow Viennese classical pianist Friedrich Gulda from 1987 to 1994, producing a full-blown classically-based symphony Stories of the Danube in 1993, and following the near-disastrous Malibu fires of 1994, moving from California to New York City in order to be closer to Europe.

	Guardian \| Joe Zawinul, Vienna Nights
		Zawinul's deservedly acclaimed last album, the biographical Faces and Places, was a little ahead of this one in idiomatic range: it intentionally touched on the composer's many influences, from classical music to African choirs to hard bop.
		All the uptempo music is driven by Zawinul's trademark underpinnings of racing percussion (old Weather Report partner Manolo Badrena is on hand-drums, the remarkable Nathaniel Townsley on the kit), agile Jaco Pastorius-like bass figures and mechanistic rhythm-guitar clatter.
		Zawinul gets a sound like a harpsichord with a blanket inside it on Borges Buenos Aires, and Badrena's drums run neck and neck with Kabongo's yelping vocals to hit the heated percussive effects on Tower of Silence.

	ZAWINUL SYNDICATE
		Zawinul then moved on to a brief but fateful encounter and collaboration with Miles Davis, just at the time Miles was moving into the electric arena.
		It was Zawinul’s tune "In a Silent Way”, in fact, which served as the title track of Miles’ first electric foray, and Zawinul had a potent impact on Bitches Brew, as well.
		Joe Zawinul is deservedly renowned for his pioneering role in the Jazz world combining the elements of world music rock and jazz.

	Joe Zawinul
		Zawinul turned 70 on July 7, 2002, yet according to sources close to him, he's got more energy than men half his age — apparently he still goes boxing three times a week.
		The Pepe (Zawinul's nickname when he was a kid) is an instrument custom-made for Zawinul by Korg in the mid-1980s, exemplifying the fact that the Austrian is a high-profile endorsee of the company.
		Zawinul explains that the different formats are present partly for financial reasons (although the equipment in The Music Room may suggest otherwise, the Zawinuls are working on a limited budget), while some of the studio's gear, such as the Korg and the M Audio equipment, was come by through sponsorship deals.

	Weather Report - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The band was originally a spin-off from the group of musicians associated with Miles Davis in the late sixties and early seventies.
		The stable core of the group was the duo of pianist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, while the other musicians were rotated with almost every album.
		It is with Weather Report that keyboardist Josef Zawinul became synonymous with the jazz fusion era, contributing a number of genre-defining compositions.

	Joe Zawinul
		In fact, I credit Zawinul with single-handedly demonstrating that fusion is not a sop to the masses enchanted with electronics, but rather a field of possibility quite worthy of exploration.
		Zawinul had emigrated from Austria to the U.S. in 1958 to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but, after the fashion of the excessively talented and the ever-restless, he left soon to join Maynard Ferguson and, before joining Adderley in 1961, sandwiched in stints with Harry "Sweets" Edison, Dinah Washington and Slide Hampton.
		There emerged the Zawinul Syndicate, which further explored the possibilities of electronics wedded with a kind of global sensibility, particularly the rhythms of Africa and Zawinul's native Europe, a music which, one must suppose, most naturally finds its niche under the general heading of world music.

	Joe Zawinul: Man of the people
		Zawinul's reputation for creating trailblazing music is what attracted the stellar cast of world musicians—32 in all—who appear on My People.
		It was Zawinul's unquenchable thirst to continue creating music without borders that motivated him to leave the Sony Music label after a three-decade association.
		Veasley shares that perception, but notes that Zawinul's fierce devotion to his work is tempered by a more jovial and playful side too—one revealed during the course of this interview.

	Joe Zawinul: Faces & Places
		With Zawinul’s compositions and electric keyboard work a key element, the group managed to become extremely popular without alienating jazz fans and managing to incorporate a variety of elements into their sound that would influence fusion and other musical formats for some time to come.
		There are more travels ahead, though, with “Café Andalusia” capturing Zawinul’s memories of a day spent at the title café in Tunisia smoking water pipes of tobacco and drinking tea with honey and mint.
		“Good Day” is a Zawinul improvisation that demonstrates not only his complete mastery of the keyboard but also his ability to program voices that are organic and compliment the musical structure he is trying to build rather than calling attention to themselves as electronically-generated sounds.

	Joe Zawinul \| Faces & Places
		Joe Zawinul wants us to know a secret, if you take the portrait in the liner notes at face value: fusion never died.
		Zawinul made his reputation at the keyboards with Miles Davis and soared to stardom as the guiding light of Weather Report, a pinnacle of jazz-rock fusion which the genre has rarely surpassed.
		Perhaps that's Zawinul's statement about drums being the center of music, though to be honest he rarely strays from all-too-familiar 4/4 rhythms.

	Cannonball Plays Zawinul Music CD is available from Bestprices.com
		Zawinul's compositions are characterized by a synthesis of traditional bop, the open structures of Davis's and Coltrane's more modal albums, and the funk-inflected rhythms of BITCHES BREW and late-'60s soul music.
		CANNONBALL PLAYS ZAWINUL's opener, "74 Miles Away," is an extended shape-shifting piece that flirts with Indian scales and features spectacular solos by Cannonball, Zawinul, and cornetist Nat Adderley (Cannonball's brother).
		Zawinul's excellent tunes and Cannonball's dexterous alto work, at once blues-drenched and progressive, make this disc a winner.

	E.J.N. - JOE ZAWINUL
		Synthesis is a key word, too, in Zawinul’s musical conception, deftly blending the sounds of swing, gospel, RandB, African and South African elements, classical music and other ideas into a sound that is identifiably his own.
		Born in Vienna, Austria, Zawinul studied classical piano at the Vienna Conservatory, but his hero was Duke Ellington.
		He is busy creating new sounds, textures and grooves with The Zawinul Syndicate, on stage and in the studio, and creating a personal variation of jazz beyond category.

	Jazz Artist Interview - Joe Zawinul@ jazzreview.com
		After almost sixty years of uninterrupted piano playing and composing, Joe Zawinul (born in Vienna, July 7, 1932), one of the most influential jazz musicians of the past century, hasn’t lost any of his energy and continues to attract new, extremely talented musicians in his groups.
		He r reminds us of Miles who had Zawinul, not only as a keaboard payer, but also as a composer in his electric group when he recorded his legendary albums ‘In a Silent Way’ (the title piece is a composition by Zawinul), ‘Bitches Brew’, Live-Evil, ‘Big Fun’ and ‘Directions’.
		Cannonball Adderley, Zawinul’s employer at that time, had tears in his eyes when he heard him announcing his departure to form his own group.
