OK, one correction coming out of the box: "Milky Way", on that first album: it's not sythesizers. It's, IIRC, Wayne Shorter, playing soprano into the top of a grand piano, while Zawinul holds down the damper pedals and keys, plus some studio echo. On into the live side of "Sing the Body Electric", which is an edit down from the "Live in Tokyo" double, import, Zawinul's stage set-up still didn't yet include any synthesizer per se; it consisted of a Rhodes piano, a Farfisa organ, (and a real piano if a good one was there) an Echoplex tape echo, a ring modulator, and some stomp boxes. <p>OK, one correction coming out of the box: “Milky Way”, on that first album: it’s not sythesizers.
