{"title":"Wayne Shorter","description":"\u003cp\u003eWayne Shorter was one of jazz's leading figures in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as both a composer and saxophonist. Though indebted to John Coltrane, with whom he practiced in the mid-'50s, Shorter developed his own voice and style on the tenor horn, retaining the tough tone quality and intensity and, in later years, adding elements of funk. On soprano, Shorter was almost another player entirely, his lovely tone attuned more to lyrical thoughts, his choice of notes more spare. As a composer, he wrote complex, long-limbed tunes, many of which are now standards. On his '60s albums for Blue Note, most notably Juju and Night Dreamer, the composer and the saxophone stylist meet. He co-founded Weather Report in 1970 and through 1986 released Grammy-winning albums. He issued jazz-funk recordings for Columbia and Verve in the late '80s and early '90s, including Joy Ryder and High Life. On 2002's Footprints Live!, and 2003's Alegria, Shorter showcased a new acoustic quartet dedicated to performing his compositions. As he entered his eighties, Shorter focused on impressively complex projects, including 2018's Emanon, a graphic novel combined with four-part studio suite and 2021's opera based on Greek myths titled Iphigenia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShorter started playing the clarinet at 16 but switched to tenor sax before entering New York University in 1952. After graduating with a BME in 1956, he played with Horace Silver for a short time until he was drafted into the Army for two years. Once out of the service, he joined Maynard Ferguson's band, meeting Ferguson's pianist Joe Zawinul in the process. The following year (1959), Shorter joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, where he remained until 1963, eventually becoming the band's music director. During the Blakey period, Shorter also made his debut on record as a leader, cutting several albums for Chicago's Vee-Jay label. After a few prior attempts to hire him away from Blakey, Miles Davis finally convinced Shorter to join his quintet in September 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStaying with Davis until 1970, Shorter became one of the band's most prolific composer, contributing tunes like \"E.S.P.,\" \"Pinocchio,\" \"Nefertiti,\" \"Sanctuary,\" \"Footprints,\" \"Fall,\" and the signature description of Davis, \"Prince of Darkness.\" While playing through Davis' transition from loose, post-bop acoustic jazz into electronic jazz-rock, Shorter also took up the soprano in late 1968, an instrument that turned out to be more suited to riding above the new electronic timbres than the tenor. As a prolific solo artist for Blue Note during this period, Shorter expanded his palette from hard bop almost into the atonal avant-garde, with fascinating excursions into jazz-rock territory toward the turn of the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn November 1970, Shorter teamed up with old cohort Joe Zawinul and Miroslav Vitous to form Weather Report where, after a fierce start, Shorter's playing grew mellower and more consciously melodic in order to fit into Zawinul's concepts. By now he was playing mostly on soprano, though the tenor would re-emerge toward the end of the group's run. Shorter's solo career was mostly put on hold during the Weather Report days, though 1975's Native Dancer was an attractive side trip into Brazilian-American tropicalismo made in tandem with Milton Nascimento. Shorter also revisited the past in the late '70s by touring with Freddie Hubbard and ex-Davis sidemen Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams as V.S.O.P.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShorter finally left Weather Report in 1985. Still committed to electronics and fusion, his recorded compositions from the period feature welcoming rhythms and harmonically complex arrangements. After three Columbia albums between 1986 and 1988 -- Atlantis, Phantom Navigator, and Joy Ryder -- and a tour with Santana (represented by the 2005 album Montreux 1988), he lapsed into silence, emerging again in 1992 with Wallace Roney and the V.S.O.P. rhythm section in the \"A Tribute to Miles\" band. In 1994, now on Verve, Shorter released High Life, an engaging electric collaboration with keyboardist Rachel Z.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe continued playing concerts with a wide range of groups and appeared on a number of recordings as a guest including the Rolling Stones' Bridges to Babylon in 1997 and Herbie Hancock's Gershwin's World in 1998. In 2001, he was back with Hancock for Future 2 Future and on Marcus Miller's M². Footprints Live! was released in 2002 under his own name with a new band that included pianist Danilo Pérez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade, followed by Alegria in 2003 and Beyond the Sound Barrier in 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough absent from recording, Shorter continued to tour regularly with the same quartet after 2005. They re-emerged to record again in February of 2013 with a live outing from their 2011 tour. Without a Net, his first recording for Blue Note in 43 years, was issued in February of 2013 as a precursor to his 80th birthday. Just after that release, the Wayne Shorter Quartet performed four of the leader's compositions with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Shorter immediately brought the quartet and orchestra into the studio to record those same four pieces: \"Pegasus,\" \"Prometheus Unbound,\" \"Lotus,\" and \"The Three Marias,\" as a unified suite. The title of this four-composition orchestral suite is also Shorter’s title character for the graphic novel Emanon, or \"no name\" spelled backward. Each of the four movements has a corresponding theme in a graphic novel penned by Shorter and Monica Sly and illustrated by Randy DeBurke. It draws inspiration from the concept of a multiverse (where numerous universes co-exist simultaneously) and features a character named Emanon, an action-hero proxy of Shorter, a comic book aficionado since he was a boy. The story alludes to dystopian oppression and was clearly informed by the saxophonist's Buddhist studies. All told, the music -- performed by the quartet with and without the chamber orchestra -- was recorded live in London as well as in the studio, creating a triple album accompanied by the 84-page graphic novel. Emanon was issued in September of 2018, just after Shorter's 85th birthday. His next project proved just as ambitious, writing an opera based around the myth of Iphigenia, a Greek princess. Shorter co-created the work with librettist esperanza spalding and set designer Frank Gehry. The work merged jazz and classical themes and premiered in New York at the end of 2021. The following year Candid released Live at the Detroit Jazz Festival. Recorded at the 2017 event, it featured Shorter in a one-off quartet setting that included drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, bassist\/vocalist esperanza spalding, and Argentine pianist Leo Genovese. It proved to be the last music issued during his lifetime, as he passed away in March of 2023 at the age of 89. ~ Richard S.

Personnel: Wayne Shorter (soprano \u0026amp; tenor saxophones); Milton Nascimento (vocals); Herbie Hancock, Airto Moreira, Dave McDaniel, Roberto Silva, Wagner Tiso, Jay Graydon, Dave Amaro. Recorded at Village Recorders, Los Angeles, California on September 12, 1974. Includes liner notes by Bill Milkowski. Digitally remastered by Debra Parkinson (CBS Records Studio, New York). This is part of the Columbia Contemporary Jazz Masters series. This album is a rare gem. A lush Brazilian-jazz hybrid, it was released in the midst of Wayne Shorter's tenure with Weather Report, after an astounding run of inventive post-bop releases for the Blue Note label in the '60s. Five of the nine tracks were written by Milton Nascimento, and NATIVE DANCER's success on its release in 1975 served to introduce this fine Brazilian singer\/composer to an American audience. The aptness of the pairing of these two musicians is readily apparent on a tune such as \"Tarde,\" where Nascimento's vocal phrasing mirrors Shorter's saxophone. The ensemble is equally inspired, with Herbie Hancock as adept at the propulsive funkiness of \"Beauty and the Beast\" as the luxurious reveries of \"Miracle of the Fishes.\" One of several essential titles by Wayne Shorter, NATIVE DANCER offers constant and layered delights from start to finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Ponta De Areia\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Beauty And The Beast\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Tarde\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Miracle Of The Fishes\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Diana\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        From The Lonely Afternoons\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        Ana Maria\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        Lilia\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Joanna's Theme\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: SPEAKERS CORNER\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.

In 1964, after a long period as musical director for Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and newly joining Miles Davis' quintet, Shorter was primed to enter the field as a major solo artist. His guests include Lee Morgan (trumpet), renewing the outstanding frontline the two formed in Blakey's band, and McCoy Tyner (piano) and Elvin Jones (drums) from Coltrane's legendary quartet. The musical vision here, however, is Shorter's alone.\nShorter's distinctive compositional style begins to take shape with the opening title track, a bouncing waltz with a dusky, modal flavor and a subtle rhythmic drive. Likewise, his arrangement of an \"Oriental Folk Song\" has a similar burnished tone with beautifully executed harmonies between Shorter and Morgan. Interestingly, the swinging \"Black Nile\" and \"Armageddon\" are very reflective of Shorter's previous tenure with Blakey while perpetuating the range of his newfound freedom with Davis' group. \"Charcoal Blues\" is the most traditional piece in the set but nevertheless gives us a sense of his more independent leanings. Also included are two takes of the graceful ballad \"Virgo,\" a classic Shorter composition.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/23\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wayne Shorter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44584503312617,"sku":"OLO9BQ-95IW-00","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/wayne-shorter-night-dreamer-lp_ma3Fu.jpg?v=1759341774"},{"product_id":"wayne-shorter-etcetera","title":"Etcetera","description":"Personnel: Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone); Herbie Hancock (piano); Cecil McBee (bass); Joe Chambers (drums).\nProducer: Alfred Lion.\nReissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.\nRecorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 14, 1965. Includes liner notes by Michael Cuscuna.\nThis is part of Blue Note's Limited Edition Connoisseur series.\nThis mid 60's Blue Note date, after Shorter had already joined Miles Davis' great quintet of the time, reflects the saxophonist's expansion into wider realms of composition. After leaving Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Shorter's compositions slowly moved in the direction of the free-flowing, eclectic modal style that would be developed to its greatest degree in Davis' group. Here, however, Shorter's artistic vision is completely his own and his performance displays his unique creativity to the fullest. With Davis bandmate Herbie Hancock (piano), Cecil McBee (bass) and Joe Chambers (drums), ETCETERA is an often-overlooked jewel in the saxophonist's collection.\nThe restrained title track opens the session with a brilliant yet cautious melody line that Shorter develops into an expressive solo spot, soon to be followed by an explosive statement by Chambers. The dusky ballad \"Penelope\" follows, gently flowing with burnished tones. The swinging \"Toy Tune\" is the most traditional sounding piece, but still displays Shorter's unique approach to chord structures and effortless melody lines. Gil Evans' \"Barracudas (General Assembly)\" creates the most tension in the set with repeated accent figures, obtuse chord progressions and Chambers' dynamic propulsion.

Firstly, it is one of the first in a long string of stunning solo sessions by Shorter that showcase both his masterful saxophone abilities and his eclectic compositional style away from the leadership of Art Blakey and Miles Davis. Secondly, it combines members of the three mightiest ensembles of the period; Freddie Hubbard and Shorter worked together in Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter formed three fifths of Miles Davis' legendary quintet and Elvin Jones was the drumming powerhouse behind John Coltrane's famous group.\nShorter introduces the session with the swinging \"Witch Hunt,\" a dynamic piece with many unexpected twists and turns. Later, the mysterious \"Dance Cadaverous\" is a peaceful waltz that slowly unfolds its meandering melody over Jones' gentle prodding. The classic title track is, of course, the disc's highlight; a bluesy swinger in the style of Shorter's stint with Blakey. The delicate ballad \"Infant Eyes\" is one of the saxophonist's most touching compositions, and worthy of special attention.

This date from 1966 shows the saxophonist firmly between his modal style of the early '60s and his more experimental avant-garde period that was to come with albums like SCHIZOPHRENIA and SUPER NOVA. The effect of Shorter's membership in Miles Davis' legendary group is evident, as his improvisations here are more adventurous and his rhythmic drive more pointed and angular than previous efforts. Above all, this session gives us one last look at Shorter at his most unveiled.\nThe soulful opening title track is a direct precursor to the jazz-rock style that would dominate the jazz world in the late '60s and '70s. A more traditional feel is incorporated for the dark \"502 Blues (Drinkin' and Drivin'),\" a beautiful showcase for Shorter's sensitive side. The bossa nova \"El Gaucho\" is a highlight and one the saxophonist's most overlooked compositions. Of special note, the classic \"Footprints\" is presented here for the first time, several months before it was recorded by the Davis group.

As the lone horn man, Shorter performs with an artistic sensitivity that was often hidden in the larger front lines of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and his later work with Miles Davis. His arresting tone is unfettered in this small ensemble setting. As a result, Shorter's singular approach is more clearly illustrated and his unique compositional style takes on a more exclusive tint.\nUnlike his bold compositions for the Blakey bands, the tunes here have an inward mystery to them. The lilting title track, a waltz on the surface, contains a dark, tension-filled undertone that is deftly propelled by Elvin Jones' signature triplet whirls. Likewise, the delicate \"House Of Jade\" broods with an enigmatic current that underscores its otherwise bright melody. The quartet shines on the Coltrane-tinged \"Mahjong,\" an introspective piece that reflects Shorter's study of eastern philosophies. The disc's highlight comes with the fast-paced \"Yes Or No,\" a modern classic that showcases Shorter's masterful soloing abilities. In all, since Shorter is free to express his remarkable creativity here in such uncluttered surroundings, we are left with a much clearer picture of the man as an artist.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/25\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wayne Shorter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588289491177,"sku":"YZZSLY-7FJU-00","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/wayne-shorter-juju-lp_iDqDa.jpg?v=1759318984"},{"product_id":"wayne-shorter-introducing","title":"Introducing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroducing is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from WAYNE SHORTER\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/1\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WAYNE SHORTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588348866793,"sku":"0BE6SP-EHCL-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/WAYNE-SHORTER-Introducing_TDEkE.jpg?v=1759117347"},{"product_id":"wayne-shorter-introducing-wayne-shorter","title":"Introducing Wayne Shorter","description":"Personnel: Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone); Lee Morgan (trumpet); Wynton Kelly (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Jimmy Cobb (drums).\nRecorded at Bell Sound Studios, New York, New York on November 10, 1959. Originally released on Vee Jay LP (SR 3006). Includes original liner notes by Barbara J. Gardner.\nAll tracks have been digitally remastered using 24-bit technology.\nAlso known as Blues A La Carte, this Vee Jay disc has tenor-saxophonist Wayne Shorter's first session as a leader and it shows that, even at this early stage, Shorter was far along toward developing his own sound. Teamed up with trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, the six selections (five of which are Shorter originals) capture the young tenor shortly after he joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. The music is essentially hard bop and, although none of these Shorter tunes caught on, the music is quite enjoyable. A special treat is the one standard of the date, a swinging version of \"Mack The Knife.\" ~ Scott Yanow\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/15\/18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wayne Shorter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44599457317097,"sku":"ZMOA5R-FKLA-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/wayne-shorter-introducing-wayne-shorter_rWDil.jpg?v=1759435382"},{"product_id":"wayne-shorter-footprints-live-verve-by-request-series-2-lp","title":"Footprints Live (Verve By Request Series) [2 LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFootprints Live (Verve By Request Series) [2 LP] is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Wayne Shorter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 08\/11\/2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wayne Shorter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45306877509865,"sku":"LZ8LCJ-SITW-00","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/wayne-shorter-footprints-live-verve-by-request-series-2-lp_BmHXF.jpg?v=1758948644"},{"product_id":"wayne-shorter-schizophrenia-blue-note-tone-poet-series-lp","title":"Schizophrenia (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSchizophrenia (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) [LP] is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Wayne Shorter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/01\/2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wayne Shorter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45446067421417,"sku":"NCW7ST-3C6T-00","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/wayne-shorter-schizophrenia-blue-note-tone-poet-series-lp_Xhh7p_1ce52ecf-e73c-4816-95f5-92001b8e54c3.jpg?v=1747139931"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/collections\/image_52f97e26-8b86-41c2-aa64-18d2f7278a6a.jpg?v=1708067170","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/collections\/wayne-shorter.oembed","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
