Hello all,

Well, I'm still missing maestro Zawinul and in an attempt to fill the
void left by his hugely sad passing I've been listening once again, and
discovering hidden delights in them, to Joe's first two Syndicate
albums The Immigrants and Black Water. What a wonderful listen they are
proving to be as well, it's great to hear some of those tremendous
tunes once again, 'King Hip' with it's simmering groove, the
restless 'The Devil Never Sleeps' - years ahead of it's time by the
way, and of course the groovy 'In The Same Boat' with it's memorable
vocal and danceable time signature - Zawinul always knew how to waltz!

The Dialects album will always be my favourite Zawinul record overall,
but I'm pleased to discover these two albums all over again. I look
forward now to rediscovering Lost Tribes. Just great, great music. We
may never see his like again.

Regards to everyone.
