Our Take

Wayne Shorter's Odyssey Of Iska is a cosmic journey like no other. The legendary jazz saxophonist takes listeners on a wild ride through space and time, pushing the boundaries of the genre with his signature avant-garde style. The album is a sonic marvel, with Shorter's virtuosic playing leading the way through a series of mind-bending compositions.

From the ethereal opening track, "Storm," to the frenetic energy of "The Collector," Shorter showcases his unparalleled talent and musical vision. The album's title track, "Odyssey Of Iska," is a sprawling epic that builds to a crescendo of sound, with Shorter's saxophone soaring over a backdrop of hypnotic rhythms and swirling harmonies.

Shorter's bandmates, including the legendary Herbie Hancock on piano and Ron Carter on bass, provide the perfect backdrop for his explorations, creating a tight-knit musical tapestry that is both complex and beautiful. The album's production, overseen by the renowned Rudy Van Gelder, is crisp and clear, allowing every nuance of Shorter's playing to shine through.

Overall, Odyssey Of Iska is a masterful work of art that is sure to delight fans of jazz and beyond. Shorter's musical vision is as bold and innovative as ever, cementing his status as one of the true giants of the genre. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great music and wants to take a trip to the outer edges of the musical universe.

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.
