cci. ZAWINUL, Joe (1932-2007)
from: Zawinul.
A tone poem reminiscent of his grandfather's funeral on a cold winter day in an Austrian mountain village.
Miles provided the liner notes:
"Zawinul is extending the thoughts that we've both had for years. And probably the thoughts that most so-called now musicians have not yet been able to express.
-- MILES DAVIS
P.S. Dig the two drummers and Herbie with the echoplex -- and the clear funky black soprano sound -- and the setting that Woody has to play in [not on this track]. All these musicians are set up. Joe sets up the musicians so that they have to play like they do, in order to fit the music like they do. In order to fit this music, you have to be 'Cliché-Free.' In order to write this type of music, you have to be free inside of yourself and be Josef Zawinul with two beige kids, a black wife, two pianos, from Vienna, a Cancer and 'Cliché-Free.'"
