Synopsis

Product Description
Enigmatic, often inscrutable, Wayne Shorter (b. 1933) doesn't give much of himself away to the public. Thankfully, he's given the world more than plenty in terms of beautiful music. A brilliant tenor and soprano saxophonist, an outstanding composer, and, at present, a bandleader of rare distinction, Shorter is finally basking in the adoration he's long deserved.

The journey started in Newark, New Jersey where Shorter began drawing attention to his musical prowess as a teenager. His five year stint, starting in 1959, with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers alerted the jazz world to Shorter's compelling voice on the tenor saxophone and his beguiling compositions. On joining Miles Davis in 1964, Shorter solidified what came to be called "The Second Great Quintet," alongside the trumpeter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams. Shorter's tunes - "Footprints," "E.S.P.", and "Nefertiti" among them - and his alluringly elliptical playing were decisive elements in the critical success of the Davis band. Shorter's own concurrently released albums as a leader have proved to be just as inspiring to subsequent generations of players as his work with Davis.
