**The Zawinul Syndicate was a jazz fusion band formed by Austrian keyboardist Joe
Zawinul in 1988. The band evolved out of Zawinul’s former band Weather Report. **

The band adhered to Zawinul’s roots in jazz. Their style could be described as a
combination of unusual grooves, driving and swinging rhythms and many borrowings
from different music cultures.

Josef Erich Zawinul (7 July 1932 – 11 September 2007) was an Austrian jazz and jazz
fusion keyboardist and composer. First coming to prominence with saxophonist Cannonball
Adderley, Zawinul went on to play with Miles Davis and to become one of the creators
of jazz fusion, a musical genre that combined jazz with rock. He co-founded the 
groups Weather Report and The Zawinul Syndicate. He pioneered the use of electric
piano and synthesizer, and was named “Best Electric Keyboardist” twenty-eight times.
