The Music of Wayne Shorter through a celebratory recap by Wynton Marsalis & JLCO

Wayne Shorter, who is now 87, is one of the last two great masters of the tenor saxophone that dominated the Golden Age of Jazz music. (The other is 90-years old Sonny Rollins.) When Mr. Shorter joined Wynton Marsalis and the superbly talented Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for three nights of music making on May 14-16, 2015, he was 81 years old. The digital audio recording machines captured this outstanding document that is a recap of the great man’s journey that had already spanned  six decades. 

 

As always, I do not have the gift of verbal description of music. One phrase will suffice: Essential top tier Jazz.”  Just listen for yourself. Very highly recommended.
