See? Just like I said. New Joe Zawinul album out today, picked it up at lunch have already worn it out (and irritated some of the prairie dogs in the cube farm:). Good good stuff. So here's another video from the same concert the album was cut from, his 75th birthday concert in Lugano, Switzerland 7/7/07.Scarlet Woman

Brilliant.
I remember reading an interview with Zawinul, when I was 13 years old, where he declared himself to be the equal of Beethoven.
I didn't laugh at that then, and I don't laugh at that now.
It is telling that the greatest musical-conceptualist of our time (Brian Eno) has written music in tribute to Joe Zawinul.
As is true throughout history, greatness has walked among us, and we didn't even notice.
