After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon solo careers. Their clothes, styles, and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and homegrown skiffle, the group explored genres ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock.

The Beatles were a pop and rock group from Liverpool, England formed in 1960. Many considered Zawinul as the "best" synthesizer player "in jazz", frequently employing several keyboards with live settings of his bands.
In Weather Report, he often employed a vocoder as well as pre-recorded sounds played (i.e filtered and transposed) through a synthesizer, creating a very distinctive, often beautiful, synthesis of jazz harmonics and "noise" ("using all the sounds the world generates"). Zawinul's playing style is often dominated by quirky melodic improvisations -both bebop, ethnic and pop sounding- combined with sparse but rhythmic playing of big-band sounding chords or bass lines. Several artists have honored Zawinul with songs, notably Brian Eno's instrumental "Zawinul/Lava", John McLaughlin's instrumental "Jozy", Warren Cuccurullo's "Hey Zawinul", Bob Baldwin's "Joe Zawinul", and Biréli Lagrène's instrumental "Josef". Zawinul won the "Best Keyboardist" award 30 times from American jazz magazine Down Beat's critics' poll. Additionally, he made pioneering use of electric piano and synthesizers. Later, Zawinul co-founded the groups Weather Report and the world fusion music oriented Zawinul Syndicate. Josef Erich Zawinul (J– September 11, 2007) was an Austrian jazz keyboardist and composer.įirst coming to prominence with saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, Zawinul went on to play with trumpeter Miles Davis, and to become one of the creators of jazz fusion, an innovative musical genre that combined jazz with elements of rock and world music.
