Wayne Shorter clip from youtube

I'm pretty sure it's from the Molde Jazz Festival, I think 1967 or 68...pretty much the same deal as the Freddie Hubbard Birdlike clip from the same period (though a different year). They came over as a single and played with a local rhythm section. As with the Hub clip, I wonder if there is a whole concert of this stuff, hard to believe they went all that way to play one tune.

No idea if this is correct, but FYI, the most recent comment posted to the Youtube clip says...

Correct information is:

Wayne Shorter (ts) Lars Sjösten (p), Roman Dylag (b), Rune Carlsson (d) from Molde Kino, Molde, Norway

early August 1966, between August 4 and 7.

Grain of salt, and all that.

Cool clip!!!

The 1966 date can't be right... Wayne was with Miles's quintet in the US during early August 1966, according to Losin:

 

Quote

The Quintet performed at Chicago's Plugged Nickel Club (July 20-31), then played in Cleveland at the Ohio Valley Jazz Festival (August 6). They were booked for an encore in Detroit's Cobo Arena on August 7: "George Wein Presents Festival Encore" -- scheduled along with the Quintet were Sarah Vaughan, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, the Horace Silver Quintet, the Jimmy Smith Trio, and Joe Williams. Thanks to Chris DeVito for this information.

 

 

Early/mid November 1967 seems probable:

Quote

Davis left the "Newport Jazz Festival in Europe" tour early after a dispute with producer George Wein. The rest of the Quintet performed the final concert or two of the tour as "The Wayne Shorter Quartet."

Only that's not "the rest of the Quintet"...

LOC cites Meeker citing this as being part of a film of the 1966 Molde festival: https://www.loc.gov/item/jots.200020855

Nothing about Wayne being at Molde in 1967: https://www.loc.gov/item/jots.200020871

Today, the festival runs mid-late July: https://www.loc.gov/item/jots.200020871

Anybody know if it's always been like that?

The festival's own site cites 1966: http://jazzarkiv.moldejazz.no/list_artist.php
