Weather Report

Joe Zawinul, 75, Sept. 11: The Austrian Zawinul was a talented keyboardist and one of the founders of jazz fusion. He played with Miles Davis on recordings including "Bitches Brew" and would go on to form the seminal electric-jazz group Weather Report. He toured tirelessly up ... more through spring 2007, when he sought medical attention for the rare form of skin cancer that would take his life. Austrian president Heinz Fischer gave a moving tribute to Zawinul, saying that "as a person and through his music, Joe Zawinul will remain unforgettable for us all."
