Thank you, Mr. Carter, for decades of great music. You're a living legend yourself. I won't forget attending the "VSOP" Tribute to Miles concerts back in the 90's (yourself with Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams, Wallace Roney, and Herbie Hancock). Wayne Shorter will be missed.
I was listening to this last night and trying to jam along wondering yet again will I ever see Wayne live, as I have been wondering since getting hooked on Weather Report when I was a kid, devastating to hear this news today. We were lucky to share some of our time with such talent. R.I.P. Maestro.
This is, indeed, a very sad day. I've been listening to Weather Report since the early 70's and they've been my favorite band all these years. Going to listen to them all day tomorrow, in memory of Wayne.
music that comes from the past , the present and the future a music that transcends any physical element , and transports the natural feelings elsewhere Wayne Shorter for me is the greatest composer in jazz history r.
Any one can feel this, from novice listener or musician to pro, and appreciate these wonderful musician's skills but most of all vulnerability in 'putting it out there' improvising over one another...whether you appreciate the technical skill, collaborative musicianship or just the raw emotional 'feel', you should know you are not 'coming up short' regardless...for you to feel immersed should be enough for the artists and I'm pretty sure Wayne would've agreed and would feel happy for you to enjoy this wonderful clip.
jazz goes wer it wants. n if u dont see how influential this is for us players (no matter what kind u play) then mayb u need listen with a little more of an open mind.
Joel Stewart im not talking about the music of wayne Im talking about the other forms of jazz u claim wer supposed to go in this direction. My point is that they went with Wayne in their own way u jus have to have an open mind n ear to hear it
The Quartet is just so brilliant in how they create music no one could have ever imagined being in the realm of possibilities. Such beautiful masterpieces they have created...
Shorter has been interested in space and physics. It isn’t always ripping. And I love that about him. I think Zero Gravity is subtle and gorgeous. Didn’t know he ever played with Patitucci. Amazing really!
Possibly the best version of Starry Night ever. From 1.20 onwards his playing is unreal and almost a spiritual experience. Nobody can touch Wayne in this form. Absolutely brilliant band also.

Next friday evenin' in Piedmont Italy. A dear friend of mine and me will talk about Wayne and, most important, will show to some other friends many clips and videos of this great musician: from the Jazz Messengers to his last astonishing fine acustic quartet. Stay Tuned
I would love to see the charts they use for these gigs. The melodies almost always seem to come from Wayne's older compositions, although often fairly altered, but I'd love to know how much of the form is improvised and how much is prepared. I know they don't rehearse (he's famously quoted as saying 'How do you rehearse the unknown?') but there does seem to be an underlying level of composition. If you listen to tunes like Pegasus, on Without A Net, then you can hear several pre-prepared sections (almost like vamped repeat sections!), that create the form in a way that still sounds very improvised. Similarly with the harmony: so much of it is quite out, making it hard to tell whether they actually have some tonal centres. I guess they most clearly do where there is a repeated bass riff, although similarly I don't know how often they're prepared. Could anyone shed any light on any of this?
A good case study is their first album, "Footprints Live." Almost all of those songs are versions of songs Shorter recorded earlier, so if you are familiar with those songs you can hear the way they change and stay the same. For example, they keep the form to "Footprints" fairly consistent and then eventually seque into a vamp of the turnaround (F#m7b5 B7 Em7b5 A7). A lot of the newer songs on the later recordings seem to be based on short vamps. On this video it sounds like they're really stretching out though, probably because they had a full 90 minute set to see where things go.
"Masquelero" from "Footprints Live" is another good example of a tune where they superimpose various ostinato figures over a recurring form. Listen to some of the earlier Miles versions of that tune to get a feel for the form and then check out what this quartet does to it. I've been super into this band lately so I hope some of these observations are helpful to you!
Thanks, that's helpful. Yeah - I have Footprints Live and on a couple of the tunes I find it fairly obvious what they've done, but I guess what I really wonder is whether they have these vamps and stuff pre-written or whether they are spontaneous. I know how much Shorter is into his extended compositions so it would make sense for him to write in that way, but there are some moments when watching it live that just seem to come out the blue, even for the band.
There is a written structure on which they move, this is deduced from the precise score. If you see, Patitucci's interventions, they are all precise. But ... they wrote only the structure and tonality .. but not the notes that will go to perform .. then everything is improvised on a structure studied .. written before .. other is pure invention of the ... fleeting moment.
Yes, he does say, "FOR ME is the greatest composer," so he's saying it as his opinion--but it's still a silly statement to me. Why not just say he's your favorite? There's too much talk of "the greatest" this or that in jazz. Who's to say who is "the greatest" jazz pianist or saxophonist, when it's not even clear by what criteria we might make such a judgment?
RIP Maestro Wayne Shorter. Thank you for all of the songs you ever played that moved my spirit. There are so many! Peace, my friend.
So fantastic !
40:00 - 42:00, Magnificent!!! Wayne playing like a God, meanwhile the band supporting his prayers with organic magic. Fantastic!!!!!
I have so much love for the iconic Wayne Shorter and his quartet. I hope I can hear him again in the afterlife.
Thank you again for sharing this... Rest well, Wayne.

GOD is great for giving us Wayne Shorter..
One reason I practice the nam-myoho-renga-kyo is because how beautiful this brother is

Этот концерт так очистил пространство, что дышать стало легче❤
Mr Shorter non hai avuto una vita facile tante prove ma hai vinto lasciando la tua eredità artistica e spirituale a tutti noi ❤
RIP Modern Master, you are always great, you have done better than superb, go in peace.
今最も肌に優しいのがSpeak No Evil だ。おかずは要らない。
思えば 僕の精神が飛び散らなかったのは いつもJAZZがそばにあったからだ。
敬意を持って拝聴している巨人たち！特にW Shorter. 様 心より感謝し ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
I madly love this quartet. Thank you so much!
This is off the charts. Wayne and his quartet took jazz where I was hoping it would go.
Joel Stewart it did go.
Yes, at least it did with Wayne.
jazz goes wer it wants. n if u dont see how influential this is for us players (no matter what kind u play) then mayb u need listen with a little more of an open mind.
@@tonymartin6199 - My mind is totally open to the music of Wayne Shorter....and I think he would agree with you....the music goes where it wants.
Joel Stewart im not talking about the music of wayne Im talking about the other forms of jazz u claim wer supposed to go in this direction. My point is that they went with Wayne in their own way u jus have to have an open mind n ear to hear it
i was there! what a great concert!
All in All man is it's starting to get deep out there.
This is a blessing thank goodness for awesome music
The Quartet is just so brilliant in how they create music no one could have ever imagined being in the realm of possibilities. Such beautiful masterpieces they have created...
1:20:00 - 1:26:00 EPIC. Wayne Shorter, what a master. Plus Perez, Blade, Patitucci, legendary quartet. Mr. Shorter, thanks for your art. Eternal.
Shorter has been interested in space and physics. It isn’t always ripping. And I love that about him. I think Zero Gravity is subtle and gorgeous. Didn’t know he ever played with Patitucci. Amazing really!
One thing: There is no ego in the mind of great artists, only in the mind of a player.
Great Jazz Vibes...Masters !...

Is this free? Jazz is cheap.
Wayne Shorter has been (and is!) a great composer but to say that "...for me is the greatest composer in jazz history" is a silly exaggeration.
One of the best, of that there is little doubt.
Agree!
Uh, for him he is. No problem with that comment
Yes, he does say, "FOR ME is the greatest composer," so he's saying it as his opinion--but it's still a silly statement to me. Why not just say he's your favorite? There's too much talk of "the greatest" this or that in jazz. Who's to say who is "the greatest" jazz pianist or saxophonist, when it's not even clear by what criteria we might make such a judgment?
