That's what it sounds like when Cannonball Adderley pronounces Joe Zawinul's name on Mercy, Mercy, Mercy. Zawinul had an unmistakable sound, from his early career with Maynard Ferguson, through the time he initially came to prominence with Cannonball, the incomparable Weather Report, and his later solo work. A very strong influence for many keyboardists, he was producing hip, vital music well into his seventies. Take a listen to one of his last recordings "Brown Street", with his group and the WDR Big Band...
