Hardbopjazz Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 This should be a great show. Jazz Jam 2011-12 Season Wayne Shorter Quartet Fri-Sat Apr 27-28 8pm Rose Theater There may not be a jazz musician alive who is more universally admired than saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter. Whoever he’s played with or written for – Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock – a trail of awards and classic compositions have followed. When he put the call out to form a quartet in 2000, the clamoring among the top musicians was palpable. He chose young adventurous players – pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade –¬ who, to quote Shorter’s 2006 Grammy award winning album title, take listeners Beyond The Sound Barrier. Free pre-concert discussion nightly at 7pm. This event is part of the Jazz Jam Series click here to subscribe Rose Theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSpeech Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Anyone know when he's coming to the SF bay area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Free pre-concert discussion nightly at 7pm. That would be worth the price of admission as I've yet to hear Wayne speak after seeing him several times.

worldmusic Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I remember seeing Shorter and Herbie Hancock in Central New Jersey in 2000 or 2001. It was a very melow show. They were promoting a recording that they had done together at the time. Mark www.mark61.webstore.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six string Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I remember seeing Shorter and Herbie Hancock in Central New Jersey in 2000 or 2001. It was a very melow show.

I'm glad to hear someone else feels that way about that duo album. I bought it when it was released and I was soooo disappointed. Back in November I saw Wayne and his band w/Danilo Perez and he/they were amazing. Wayne didn't say a word to the audience but he sure said a few things with his horns.

Rooster_Ties Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I saw that Herbie/Wayne duo tour too. Wanted so much to enjoy it, but try as I might, I got almost nothing out of it. Did Wayne ever play any tenor on that 'duo' tour? I can't help but thinking that maybe that would've helped (or at least helped me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Are you talking about 1+1? I love that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's pretty low-key, for sure. Not what I was expceted, but I listened enough to engage at some point. I think there's some meat there, it's just sliced very thinly. Whether or not that was the intent, I haven't a clue. Maybe it's a Buddhist thing and I don't understand.

JSngry Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 And that's another thing I don't understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I hear 1+1 as quiet chamber music, more along the lines of classical music. Maybe if it came out on ECM it would have made more of an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
