2. Lusitanos (Shorter) 7:25
In 1976, Jurg Solothurnmann of Jazz Forum magazine asked Zawinul to describe his role as “orchestrator,” as he was credited on Tale Spinnin’. “What’s happening exactly when someone brings in a piece?” he asked Zawinul. “Let’s take Wayne Shorter’s ‘Lusitanos.’ How do you proceed?” “We start playing the piece exactly the way it’s written,” replied Zawinul. “In ‘Lusitanos,’ all the chords and the melody are by Wayne.

She was a night club dancer.” [BAM78] Ndugu told Brian Glasser, “When we did that cut ‘Badia,’ he sang this one little thing to us, and that was the whole approach to the whole song. He played on the piano [the ascending two- and three-note motif], and then he started singing [the descending Japanese-sounding vocal figure], and that was it! From that l...
