Wayne Shorter interview

[cannonball-addict]

Ratliff interviewed Wayne for a standard NYT puff piece on Christmas Eve to promote the release of the book and the accompanying CD comp. It was stuff I'd certainly heard before. Except the Vaughn Williams bit - I'll have to check that cat out.

First time in a while such a worthy musician was given such a huge spread (with picture). And in the inside of that section Ratliff reviewed Billy Hart w/ Mark Turner, Ethan Iverson, and Ben Street at Fat Cat.

Saw it lying on a restaurant table top and read it Saturday.

Puff piece indeed!
