I remember Joe Zawinul, who has died today in Vienna aged 75. Only recently heard him with Cannonball Adderley, but have loads of his Miles Davis stuff and all of his Weather Report albums and even a Zawinul Syndicate CD. But mainly remember being blown away seeing him, on a documentary on BBC4, playing a synthesiser keyboard with its keys reversed (ie the left-hand end plays the high notes and so on) just to practise and exercise his mind - and sounding fantastic. Very much like Hendrix, the way he could pick up a guitar strung any way and still get it to sound beautiful. He liked a drink, too.
