Legendary, Weather Report keyboard wiz passes away.
VIENNA (Reuters) - Keyboardist Joe Zawinul, who played with Miles Davis and helped create the sound of jazz fusion, died from cancer in Vienna on Tuesday, local news agency APA reported, quoting his son Erich.
"Joe Zawinul was born on July 7, 1932 in earth time, and on September 11, 2007 in eternal time. He lives on," APA quoted Erich Zawinul as saying.

A great man is gone - make minute's of silence.
I heared this sad news early morning today in radio, but had no time to post this

Oh, that's a pity. I own most of the Weatherreport LP's and I do love their early LP's like "Weatherreport", "I sing the body electric" and "Sweetnighter". The ones after those with Jaco Pastorius on bass are also special. Well that's life! Han

He will be missed. I went to see these guys at the roundhouse back in the 70's around the time of their Heavy Weather album.... pretty far out! The following night went to see Van der graff generator...... ah those were the days!
