Our Take

Lads and lasses, buckle up your seat belts because we're about to take a musical journey with the one and only Wayne Shorter. This box set, "5 Original Albums," is like a vintage wine - it only gets better with time.

First up, we have "Night Dreamer," a classic Shorter masterpiece that will transport you to a dreamy realm filled with silky smooth sax melodies and groovy rhythms. It's the kind of album that makes you want to pull out your old record player and let the music wash over you like a warm summer breeze.

Next on the docket is "Speak No Evil," a jaw-dropping display of Shorter's raw talent and creativity. From the hauntingly beautiful title track to the frenetic energy of "Witch Hunt," this album will leave you speechless (pun intended).

Moving on to "Adam's Apple," we find a playful yet sophisticated collection of tunes that showcase Shorter's versatility as a composer and performer. Tracks like "Footprints" and "El Gaucho" will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.

"Schizophrenia" takes things up a notch with its avant-garde approach to jazz fusion. Shorter pushes the boundaries of the genre with complex harmonies and unpredictable rhythms that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Last but certainly not least, "JuJu" is a mesmerising blend of African rhythms and modern jazz that will leave you spellbound. Shorter's virtuoso saxophone skills shine brightly on this album, making it a must-listen for any true music lover.

In conclusion, "5 Original Albums" is a must-have for any serious jazz aficionado. Wayne Shorter's genius is on full display here, and it's a ride you won't want to miss. Grab a copy, pour yourself a glass of something fancy, and let the music take you on a wild and wonderful adventure. Cheers to Wayne Short

About the artist

Wayne Shorter

Wayne Shorter is the kind of jazz legend that makes you want to grab a saxophone and honk along with him, even if you've never picked up the instrument before. The man is an absolute powerhouse on the horn, with a resume that reads like a who's who of musical greatness. Shorter has been making waves in the music industry since the 1950s, when he first gained notoriety as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. From there, he went on to become a key player in the iconic Miles Davis Quintet, where his compositions helped shape the future of jazz. But Shorter didn't stop there. In the 1970s, he co-founded the groundbreaking fusion band Weather Report, pushing the boundaries of what jazz could be with his innovative compositions and fearless improvisation. Since then, he has continued to wow audiences around the world with his unique blend of tradition and innovation. With a career spanning over six decades and multiple Grammy Awards to his name, Shorter shows no signs of slowing down. His latest album, "Emanon," released in 2018, is a testament to his enduring talent and creativity. If you're looking for music that will challenge your ears and inspire your soul, look no further than the one and only Wayne Shorter. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
