The Austrian-born keyboardist and composer had already performed with a host of jazz luminaries throughout the '50s and '60s – Miles Davis, Slide Hampton, Cannonball Adderley and many others – before founding Weather Report, the powerhouse combo that helped define and steer the jazz fusion movement throughout the '70s and early '80s. He later formed the Zawinul Syndicate, a multicultural combo that continues to play original music, explore and innovate, and merge jazz with various strains of classical and world music. This legendary jazz fusion pioneer joins the Heads Up International label with the release of Brown Street (HUCD 3121), a triumphant two-disc recording that captures Zawinul, a few of his longtime friends and collaborators, and the 15-piece WDR Big Band in an electrifying live performance. Recorded in October 2005 at Zawinul's own Birdland Club in Vienna, Brown Street showcases Zawinul, Syndicate drummer Nathaniel Townsley, Weather Report and Syndicate bassist Victor Bailey and Weather Report drummer/percussionist Alex Acuna in expanded, orchestral renditions of some of the finest Zawinul compositions from the highly influential Weather Report oeuvre. For the first time since Weather Report, Zawinul and company fire off orchestrated renditions of such classics as "Black Market,"Night Passage,"A Remark You Made"and others. "We had fun on this project,"says Zawinul. "It's basically the original Weather Report arrangements adapted to big band, and I made sure to keep it open enough so that the music could breathe but at the same time groove. The idea was not to do a cover record. We wanted these arrangements to stand on their own and have their own unique identity."Nearly all of the music on Brown Street was adapted and orchestrated for the big band setting by Vince Mendoza, who'd recently completed a similar project with material by the Brecker Brothers for the Randy Brecker/WDR collaborative live album, Some Skunk Funk. "It's almost a note-for-note adaptation, and it takes a lot of skill to score this music for a big band,"says Zawinul. "Vince did an absolutely great job. He made it sound like Weather Report.....
