Jazz

Joe Zawinul - one of the most legendary, visionary and influential musicians and bandleaders that jazz ever produced. His passing in the fall of 2007 left a big, gaping hole in the musical world that can never be filled. But if anybody could, it would be The Syndicate - the band that he chose as the vehicle for his innovative and genre-busting musical styles after the break-up of Weather Report. Joe Zawinul had a true Midas touch in picking his band members, not only picked because of their virtuoso instrumental skills, but with a special ear for how, ultimately, each musician would contribute to a whole that was totally unique to Joe Zawinul's vision.
