PEACE & LOVE ALL, MAGGIE...please read on. Joe Zawinul Lives!!
The text of the letter written by Wayne Shorter after hearing of Joe's passing which was read at his funeral in Vienna September 25th, 2007:
"Joe and I used to talk about the mystery of life during crucial moments we shared over many years. Crucial, as in a sudden life change, unique transformation or metamorphosis to an unknown adventure. To me, there is no such thing as "beginning" or "end". The necessity to live and create is in itself, the immortality of Life: the ultimate adventure. Death is an essential step in the process of "living"; serving as an impartial Guide trough our eternal pathways. I know for certain that Joe and Maxine Zawinul are forever evolving as spiritual partners. (As we all are sharing in this mystical journey.) Nothing they did will be left undone. Joseph's accomplishments in this life serve as a unique testament to his musical legacy. But his works as a human being have yet to be chronicled in the "Great Book" of deeds done in the name of humanity. Joe told me of projects that he and one of Austrian's presidents with whom he was friends since childhood, initiated in the spirit of giving, rather than taking; I know he was referring to World War One and Two. Joseph knew that dedication to art and music only would not change the world. He was aware that, as he moved forward in music, others would be inspired to move forward within their professional and private lives in the name of humanitarian achievements.
This is how I have to come to see my friend, Joseph Zawinul, not only as an artist of great musical pioneering accomplishment. I see Joseph's life more clearly as if I were viewing a reflection of all life in a great mirror; a mirror which reflects the eternal life's mission of us all. Eternally.
Wayne Shorter"
