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.
