Di•a•lects is an album by Austrian jazz keyboardist and composer Joe Zawinul, released in 1986. On the original liner it appears: "The Compositions on this CD are my impressions of the many peoples and places I have visited; their moods, songs, laughter, dances; the sights and sounds of the daily lives I have glimpsed or imagined as I've toured around the world. Won't you join me in this global celebration. Joe Zawinul."
