JOE ZAWINUL of WEATHER REPORT "Zawinul" Cassette Tape

Conceptually and sonically, this is really the first Weather Report album in all but name.

Josef Erich Zawinul (July 7, 1932 – September 11, 2007) was an Austrian jazz and jazz fusion keyboardist and composer. First coming to prominence with saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, Zawinul went on to play with Miles Davis and to become one of the creators of jazz fusion, a musical genre that combined jazz with rock. He co-founded the groups Weather Report and The Zawinul Syndicate. He pioneered the use of electric piano and synthesizer,
and was named "Best Electric Keyboardist" twenty-eight times by the readers of DownBeat magazine.

Zawinul is a studio album by jazz composer and pianist Joe Zawinul recorded in 1970 by Zawinul performing music for two electric pianos, flute, trumpet, soprano saxophone, two contra basses, and percussion. The album reached number 17 in the Billboard Jazz album charts.

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Conceptually, sonically, this is really the first Weather Report album in all but name, confirming that Joe Zawinul was the primary creative engine behind the group from the beginning".
