Jungle book (Zawinul) "'Jungle Book' I did in my house with all the little instruments, the kids crying around and all that," Zawinul recalled. [DB84] Conrad Silvert wrote that "Jungle Book" "has at its core a verbatim piano improvisation Zawinul made at home. You can even hear his son crying in the background. Zawinul sang softly while he played, and later added overdubbed guitar, organ and several percussion parts. Listening to this haunting elegy gives no hint as to its construction. The layers are subtly woven together." According the a 1978 article, Zawinul added nine separate parts on various instruments. |
