Title: Joe Zawinul dies Post by: Righ on September 11, 2007, 12:03:59 PM One of the greatest musicians of our time. Not only was he a jazz pioneer, but he crafted links that drew many newcomers to jazz.

RIP Joe. The Weather Report had a HUGE influence on my play style. Title: Re: Joe Zawinul dies Post by: raydeen on September 12, 2007, 02:01:42 PM I think my favorite thing he did was when he accidentally rewired his ARP 2600 so that the keyboard played backwards. :-D Pure genius.
