May 2009 - Focus on Wayne Shorter

Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis, Weather Report followed by an illustrious solo career; Wayne Shorter is one of the greatest ever jazz performers and, while largely under-recognised for his compositional ability, almost certainly the greatest living American composer.

Here is a summary of where his work appears in our reviews:

"Speak No Evil"


"Mosaic"


"Nefertiti"


"Night Passage"


"Beyond The Sound Barrier"


"The Soothsayer"
