What are your favorite Wayne Shorter compositions everybody?

Mine would have to be: "Myako," "House Of Jade," "Footprints," "Infant Eyes," "Oriental Folk Song," "Penelope," and "Face Of The Deep."

i don't get wayne shorter - i mean why would he play just ONE saxophone?

At best he's half the player Kirk is.

This could be debated, but I'm not going to give the board any bait with this one. I will say Roland wishes he was half the composer Shorter was I do know that.

How do YOU know what Rahsaan wishes?

I'm not sure why it's necessary to rank them. Different players, different approaches. Apples and oranges.

Both are great and have contributed a lot to the music.

Not to be pedantic, but RRK is gone and can't wish anymore.

Anybody want to talk in the chatroom? I'm bored. I figured we could have some good jazz conversations in there.
