Zawinul Online
An unofficial fan site
I thought I was a big fan! Would you know where to find production notes for the LP My People especially the track>To A mighty theme< Where he (Joe) uses what sounds to me like the vocals are played/sung in reverse/backward (whew!)? Even a clue woul do.Thanks for the Website…….Dave.
Dave, the My People liner notes credit “vocal sample arrangement” to Ivan Zawinul, Joe’s youngest son. Joe always credited Ivan for coming up with that. Other than that, there are no details (but yes, I think it involves reversing the recording of the vocalists who appear elsewhere on the album).
