Auf Wiedersehen, Joe

One of the driving forces behind the 70s fusion scene and a hell of a keyboard player, Joe Zawinul, passed away today. Zawinul was an early adopter of the electric piano and synthesizers and the organizing musical force in seminal fusion band Weather Report. That was after working with such legends as Cannonball Adderly and Miles Davis.

If there is an afterlife, I don't doubt that Joe and Jaco have already settled down for one helluva jam.
