Always a great supporter of Korg synths.

------------

VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Jazz legend Joe Zawinul, who soared to fame as one of the creators of jazz fusion and performed and recorded with Miles Davis, died early Tuesday, a hospital official said. He was 75.

Zawinul had been hospitalized since last month. A spokeswoman for Vienna's Wilhelmina Clinic confirmed his death without giving details.

Zawinul won widespread acclaim for his keyboard work on chart-topping Davis albums such as "In A Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew," and was a leading force behind the so-called "Electric Jazz" movement.

In 1970, Zawinul founded the band Weather Report and produced a series of albums including "Heavy Weather," "Black Market" and "I Sing the Body Electric." After that band's breakup, he founded the Zawinul Syndicate in 1987.

Zawinul is credited with bringing the electric piano and synthesizer into the jazz mainstream.

This past spring, he toured Europe to mark the 20th anniversary of the Zawinul Syndicate.

Can't belive it! I was a great fan of Zawinul and I saw every concert he did here in the north east of Italy. I surely miss him.
RIP Joe Zawinul

Sad Loss

I first heard of Joe in a "korg" M1 tutorial Video back in the early 90's, when the tutor (Julian Colbeck) mentioned his name when describing/showing how to get a sort of "Unison Electric piano" on different octaves - or something like that Wink
