Soulful Synth

"My people is in keeping with Zawinul's brand of jazz. A Strong groove accented by amazing and inventive lines from zawinul's keyboards. Vocals play a major role and give this alblum a more soulful human diminsion which weather report and even Zawinul's other solo almlums lack. The vocals may put you of at first but soon they will soak in to you and the love Zawinul wants to express for all kinds of people really comes thorugh"

Incredibly Inspired!

"My People by Joe Zawinul; is definitely one of the most uplifting and wonderful albums I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. It gives you the feeling of running through a field of tall grasses in the sun without a care in the world!
Everyone should hear this album, and listen with an open mind and heart."

Joyous, Percolating Global Grooves

"Although definitely not "jazz", from the gorgeous opening chords this disc is a WINNER!! In drawing together some of the best talent in "world music" (eg. Salif Keita) Zawinul has treated each guest artist with the ultimate respect, giving them full composer credits & plenty of upfront performance space to show off their unique talents whilst underpinning & propelling each track with his wonderful array of sonic effects & grooves from the keyboard. You will find yourself bopping along to most of this disc (and just wait till you hear the throat singing - it will blow you away!!!). HIGHLY recommended (& I don't give 5 stars away lightly.......)"
