Wayne Shorter from Newark, the science fiction poet, the tough bluesy roller, the nerdy portrait painter; a foundational composer, an elusive improvisor, a focus, a locus, a dance, a trance, an expanse. And what about that saxophone sound? DTM interview from 2015
Wayne was both one of my favorite jazz composers and improvisers and I’m so glad I saw him perform twice, once with Herbie Hancock and then a few years later with the debut of his quartet with Danilo Perez, John Pattitucci and Brian Blade. It was at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC and several people walked out.
