L' humilité que dégage cet immense musicien n'impose que du respect et mon incommensurable admiration. Puisse la vie nous faire profiter encore longtemps de la musique de ce vieil homme, un des derniers géants du jazz.
Het beste kwartet is erg hoog !maar ze komen zeker in de anale van de beste jazz muzikanten. Gelukkig komen er steeds meer discipelen het ware uitvoeren. Kai zen.
The encore segment is truly amazing, there's no band, jazz or otherwise, that's making music like that...they're in class by themselves. There will never be another Wayne Shorter!
All I know is that when I hear this group play, I am glad to be alive. I feel emboldened, uplifted, yet daunted and opposed: it's rife with strife and struggle. But it embraces the headlong wind and tacks into it with great beauty. Perhaps Wayne is the only musician whose contemporary work makes me feel grateful.
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Rogelio Beau thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Tracklist: 1.Zero Gravity 2.Lotus 3.Myrrh 4.I Got My Way By Myself 5.Joe Rider 6.Adventures Aboard The Golden Mean Wayne Shorter - tenor & soprano sax Danilo Perez - piano John Patitucci - bass Brian Blade - drums
That is not just a concert - it is an experience!! This is a group playing as a group, individually brilliant musicians but collectively - something else! Great writing and ideas which have been executed faultlessly- I wish I had been there!.
So the intensity and the detail progressive and delicate sound of Mr wayne one of the most influence for the most powerful music writher of modern jazz
I may be exaggerating but I think this quartet is as legendary as the Charlie Parker classic quintet, the Miles quintet (both of them) and the John Coltrane quartet. Despite of the differences of course but Danilo, Patitucci and Brian Blade are among the best "jazz" musicians of our times, and Wayne is a legend.
Shorter studied a lot of Miles Davis of course 'Trane and quite obvious in Zero Gravity especially. Those notes that seem not too 'fit' changing the color of the arrangement completely. Every young sax player needs to know well who Wayne Shorter is. As a Latin jazz fan I love Danilo Perez whose piano work does not omit the percussion roots of the piano, a seldom omission in any Latin jazz Perez is not a Latin Jazz pianist, but bangs away when called for, as any great classical pianist would. Blades is sympatico with every note in melody and improvisation of the best of old school Max Roach and Philly Joe Jones with some Haynes mixed in there it is a signature sound for sure. Dave Holland just a master craftsman with an amazing ear never cliche and wonderful taste. Outstanding ensemble would be an understatement.
Non è facile in questo spazio capirsi fino in fondo, ma io mi riferivo ad una strategia generale, quasi celebrativa, davanti a un pubblico di questo tipo e misura. Certo che il gruppo lavorava su dei materiali "semilavorati" e in questo caso avere quello che intendi implica un lavoro ritmico diverso e più adatto ad una registrazione. Free, ma non tanto, secondo me, piuttosto usava un po' il metodo dell'ultimo Miles, guidando il gruppo, ascoltandolo soprattutto :)
its not at all about "rock"....Rock is a form just as Wayne's music or as his drummers may form their style-their music! Do ya' feel me? Power and form/style/feel is to be held without any limitation or classification...Its not about a "last one is the rotten egg" race but rather the expression of how one interacted musically with Wayne in this piece. Any great drummer is held in the same-but different-regard.
beh: se si tratta d' una risposta free, essa è azzeccata, sebbene non la abbia capita: sarebbe meglio , dopodiciò , impegnarsi collettivamente e soggettivamente alla composizione musicale, purchè non sia così free Distinti saluti ps: ammetto che incomincia a piacermi, questo wayne shorter free, ma vorrei dei ritmetti compattati multi- impegnati
Ma si figuri, contraddica, contraddica liberamente. Io qui vedo molta omogeneità anzicheno', ma ognuno è padrone dei propri sensi e interpreta secondo cultura ed esperienza.
Listened to 25 mins and enough for me . Call me old fashioned if you like , but I was weened up on Be Bop and post 50's Modern jazz. I am not knocking Shorter as I have his albums when he was a Jazz musician . Ellington summed up Jazz very succinctly " It dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing " This doesn't in any way suggest I have closed ears to progression , Eric Dolphy's " Out to Lunch " is a master piece . But that contained a lot what is missing here originality and interest.
i just commented seconds ago that this music does NOT swing which a prime element of jazz. As great as the musicians are at their instrument, it appears that they play for each other and not the audience. And I fully understand that a musician has to change and grow as well, so perhaps I am not appreciative of this cosmic phase of Shorter's.
no no non sono d' accordo con questa maniera di suonare : il 95% è da scartare , via dal magnetofono dei ricordi un fan di wayne shorter ps: non me lo aspettavo cosi "free"
e la omogeneità analogico armonica, sempre dicendone a riferimento di una o di alcune o di tutte le parti :ecco cosa simpatizzerei Beh forse Ciò, invece, è qualcosa del tipo: a) ogni elemento fa ritmi aritmici che ce ne ha voglia , free; b) un po' di tenore funzionale al contrabbasso c) una certa cura ai registri complessivi Insomma : a+b+c+ x , che non so definire , = non mi è simpatico d' altronde anche i mitici Sun Ra non mi son mai piaciuti davvero Distinti saluti
no; mi dispiace un po' contraddire, ma non mi è pienamente simpatica la risultanza ; infatti non ne conosco nemmeno le procedure da Lei gentilmente segnalate; ecco detta la mia opinione o una omoritmicità tra le parti, ad eccezione di una o alcune o, pur' anco , tutte; ma allora che vi sia di soccorso una omogeneità melodico analogica, seppur a positivo carico di una o alcune o tutte le parti .
John Lindstrom, that’s mainly due to the fact that this is completely different music than Coltrane’s. Yes it is jazz, yes it is a quartet, but it’s it own thing. Of course coming from all that which came before. Jazz is an evolving genre. Today’s new jazz music is already very different from this style, although both are still considered contemporary. That’s the beauty of it, to me at least! Cheers, George
I am guessing Brian Blade on drums, John Patitucci on bass and Danillo Perez on piano and the inimitable Wayne Shorter on Sax. At 80 Shorter still has a treasure store of music spinning in is head . Amazing....
