    For anyone wondering, the Joe Zawinul Music School is in Gumpoldskirchen, Austria, located about 30 kilometers southwest of Vienna.

    RIP, Mr. Berry.

    He had a strange upbringing. According to Ludwig’s autobiography, she had a selection of different whistles she would use to tell him what she wanted in order to protect her singing voice. He was raised mostly by his grandmother, also a former singer. He mentioned in an interview how unhappy his childhood was as he almost never saw his mother.
