Our Take

Wayne Shorter's Second Genesis is a tantalising journey into the mind of a jazz genius, blending classic compositions with innovative improvisation. Shorter's saxophone skills are on full display, weaving in and out of complex melodies with breathtaking ease. The album kicks off with the soaring "Ruby and the Pearl," a whirlwind of emotion that sets the tone for what's to come.

Throughout the record, Shorter's bandmates - including the legendary Elvin Jones on drums - provide the perfect backdrop for his virtuosity. Tracks like "Barracudas (General Assembly)" showcase the group's tight chemistry, with each instrument playing off the others in a mesmerising dance of sound.

One of the standout moments on Second Genesis is the hauntingly beautiful "House of Jade," a tender ballad that allows Shorter to showcase his softer side. The track is a masterclass in restraint, with each note carefully chosen and placed for maximum impact.

Overall, Second Genesis is a triumph of modern jazz, a testament to Shorter's enduring creativity and talent. It's a reminder of why he's considered one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, and a must-listen for any fan of the genre. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Wayne Shorter take you on a musical journey like no other. Trust us, you won't regret it.

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.
