Dammit! He was brilliant! What a waste... ;-(

His phrasing have been echoing within my own playing. As I usually  
want to fight back influences I happen to pick up from other  
musicians I have never felt that way about Zawinul. Maybe because his  
greatness did not draw on "ego" but rather expressing some universal  
musicality....?
