Plaza real (Shorter) "On 'Plaza Real' I played an accordion that Jaco [Pastorius] had given to me for my 49th or 50th birthday," Zawinul once recalled. "The melody is actually played by Jose Rossy on a little concertina that I bought in Spain. The shop was on a little side street off the Plaza Real in Barcelona. I had him try it one day and the first time he grabbed it he could kind of play it. So I said, 'Here, you got it!' He plays the melody of 'Plaza Real' on it and I join him on accordion. Then Wayne comes in whistling and I play some counter lines." |
