Joe Zawinul - The Rise & Fall Of The Third Stream '1967 [2012]

Tracks list

Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. Although Joe
first came to big fame in the US as a funky vamper and soloist behind Cannonball
Adderleys big group of the 60s, this early album as a leader has a much more
mature sound than Joes funky work with Cannon – and it rightly earns the
third stream tag in the title through the use of an enlarged ensemble that
includes cello and viola, in addition to the core group of soulful players like
Jimmy Owens, Richard Davis, and Freddie Waits. William Fischers also on the
record on tenor, and many of the tracks are his own compositions, with that kind
of weird off-kilter, slightly serious approach he used on other Atlantic/Vortex
sessions at the time. The mix of soul and serious scoring is actually a pretty
darn compelling blend – as youll hear on tracks like Lord, Lord, Lord,
Soul Of A Village, and The 5th Canto.
