The Zawinul Syndicate

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Joe Zawinul (keyboards),
Victor Bailey (bass), Gary Poulson (guitar), Paco Sery (drums), Manolo Badrena (percussion/vocals)
Brian Morton introduces a concert which the group gave last year in the Queen's Hall, Edinburgh. When
Zawinul left his native Austria for
America in 1959, he went straight into the top division, touring with Maynard Ferguson and Dinah
Washington and, in 1961, beginning a nine-year association with Cannonball Adderley. He also worked with Miles Davis , on the trumpeter's fusion album In a Silent Way. Weather Report, the jazz-rock band he formed in 1970 with saxophonist Wayne Shorter , changed the sound of the music for a whole generation by emphasising electric instruments. The Joe Zawinul Syndicate incorporates African rhythms and tonal qualities as well as the synthesiser sounds associated with him.
