Two of keyboardist Joe Zawinul's finest recordings as a leader were reissued on this single CD. The Money in the Pocket album from 1965 features Zawinul on acoustic piano in a sextet with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, and baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams playing superior hard bop, highlighted by the funky title cut, "If," and "My One and Only Love." The other session utilizes a string quartet, trumpeter Jimmy Owens, and the tenor and arrangements of William Fischer. Its diverse music hints at fusion (Zawinul doubles on electric piano) and has many colorful moments. This gem of a CD is highly recommended.

The Rise & Fall of the Third Stream

The Rise & Fall Of The Third Stream featured Zawinul on acoustic and electric piano, where his funky, gospel and blues-drenched solos provided welcome relief in a setting where the large orchestra's arrangements were often ponderous and overly dense.

Zawinul Rise-ing

Joe Zawinul was only 7 years old when he began his studies at the Vienna Conservatory and was a very young man when he reached the apogee of success on the Austrian jazz scene. He came to America on a Berklee scholarship to hone his musicianship, and that’s what he did. He dropped out after one week and hit the road with the Maynard Ferguson band.

In the years that followed, Zawinul accompanied Slide Hampton, Dinah Washington, and most famously, Cannonball Adderley. In 1968, Zawinul was still playing the Cannon canon when he recorded The Rise and Fall of the Third Stream for the Vortex label. While the title's prescription for the Gunther Schuller-promoted concept of the Third Stream is unclear, the album's genre-crossing musical ideas offer some tantalizing clues to the sort of inspiration Zawinul provided for his soon-to-be-boss, Miles Davis.

Zawinul's tenor saxman, William Fischer, primarily composed the set's material, which was well-realized by trumpeter Jimmy Owens, bassist Richard Davis, and drummers Freddie Waits or Roy McCurdy, with the unusual addition of a cello and three violas.

Poignant string passages bookend "Baptismal," with its eloquent, open-ended theme and "free" middle section. Most striking, however, is "The Soul of a Village Part1/Part 2," which makes drones of strings and muted trumpet, laid over with rock percussion and R&B-style harmonies. When Zawinul's electric piano solos over those drones, it presages Miles Davis' worldly electronic excursions that were still a couple years off.

Zawinul's diverse interests also produce the shuffling, sweet-natured melody of "From Vienna, With Love"; the string-borne gospel melody "Lord, Lord, Lord"; and the heartbreaking "A Concerto, Retitled," which ends the album on an extended, dreamily neoclassical piano solo. Which only goes to show that you could take the progressive jazzman out of the Conservatory, but . . .
