Joe Zawinul Brown Street (Heads Up)

The list of great Viennese composers must include Zawinul--same for the honor roll of jazz innovators.
Caught live at his club in Austria, surrounded by his customary keyboards, his quartet, and Germany's WDR big band, he breathes fresh life into decades-old Weather Report classics like the hard-swinging "Black Market" and the touching "A Remark You Made," along with the gem he penned for Miles Davis, "In a Silent Way."
