A great jazzman has left us

Post by caducus » March 4, 2023, 8:12 pm

On Friday morning I learned that Wayne Shorter had died at the age of 89.

He first became known to all jazz fans as a member of the Art Blakey group. He then joined the Miles Davis quintet and was part of the second great Miles quartet, playing tenor and soprano sax. He then was a founder member of Weather Report. During his long career, he also played on many Joni Mitchell recordings and live performances,

If there is an afterlife he must be grooving up above as one of the greatest saxophonists of the twentieth century. Well able to hold his own with Coleman Hawkins and John Coltrane.
