Giants of Jazz: Wayne Shorter
In a broadcast recorded live back on 8 October at London’s Barbican, the legendary saxophonist Wayne Shorter – ex-Miles Davis sideman, founder member of fusion giants Weather Report, and colossus of the saxophone – is in concert. Bassist John Patitucci, formerly a band-member with pianist Chick Corea, is in the group, alongside drummer Brian Blade and pianist Danilo Perez.
The gig will be broadcast tonight, and then be available on iPlayer for a week online.
Surely one not to be missed.
And here’s a the group live in concert back in 2003 with Shorter’s classic, Footprints.
