Yes, but the synth he played in the last years were not as fine as the

Btw. I only know two keyboard geniuses in terms of playing techniques
for popular electronic music. Zawinul and Worrell. That does not mean
that other musicians make less good music or that they are less
virtuosic, but only those two had and one still has got deep impact to
popular electronic music playing techniques. Can't find the right words
on English, e.g. Kraftwerk are not less important, but in another way.
Today Zawinul often plays new synth, with the
same sounds, but anyway
it sounds disgusting today and he's a good keyboarder, able to
compensate it a little bit, by the kind of playing.
On a side note: Today Joe Zawinul doesn't play any synthesizer anymore
as he died two years ago. But you're right in that he was a great
keyboarder from whom one can learn a lot.
