Jazz legend Joe Zawinul dead at 75
Jazz legend Joe Zawinul, who soared to fame as one of the creators of jazz fusion and performed and recorded with Miles Davis, has died, his son said. He was 75.
Zawinul died in a Vienna hospital early Tuesday, his son, Erich Zawinul, was quoted as saying by the Austria Press Agency. Zawinul had been hospitalized since last month. Zawinul won widespread acclaim for his keyboard work on chart-topping Davis albums such as ''In A Silent Way'' and ''Bitches Brew,'' and was a leading force behind the so-called ''Electric Jazz'' movement.
