WEATHER REPORT : UNKNOWN SOLDIER (1972)

Καμιά σχέση με το ομώνυμο των Doors – το κομμάτι του Joe Zawinul έχει πηγάσει από τις παιδικές εμπειρίες του πιανίστα – συνθέτη στη διάρκεια Β’ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, στην κατεχόμενη Βιέννη, όπου και γεννήθηκε. Αποτελεί την (υποβλητικότατη) εισαγωγή του δεύτερου άλμπουμ των WR. Η σούπερ μπάντα : JZ – keyboards, Wayne Shorter σαξόφωνα, Miroslav Vitous – μπάσο, Eric Gravatt – ντραμς, Dom Um Romāo – percussion. 🟡 🟡 No relation whatsoever to the song of the same name by The Doors – Joe Zawinul’s piece was drawn from the pianist-composer’s childhood experiences during World War II, in occupied Vienna where he was born. It serves as the (extremely atmospheric / highly evocative) introduction to the second album by Weather Report. The super band: JZ – keyboards, Wayne Shorter – saxophones, Miroslav Vitouš – bass, Eric Gravatt – drums, Dom Um Romão – percussion

      It’s not you at all. “Twisted” is an understatement! 😃
