SUMMARY:Wayne Shorter Quartet
DESCRIPTION:
 "A band of spellbinding intuition, with an 
 absolute commitment to the spirit of discovery, 
 it has had an incalculable influence on 
 the practice of jazz in the 21st century."-The 
 New York Times\n
 \n
 "Wayne Shorter 
 is one of the greatest living jazz musicians." 
 -NPR Music\n
 \n
 One of the most influential 
 saxophonists and composers in modern music, 
 at 82, icon Wayne Shorter is a jazz titan, 
 a prolific visionary whose work is history making 
 and astounding. Shorter's trajectory has 
 embodied continual exploration and unencumbered 
 momentum. His past includes Art Blakey's 
 Jazz Messengers and the Miles Davis Quintet, 
 followed by the formation of his own band, the 
 Weather Report, in the '70s. Today, he is 
 unstoppable. With his all-star band combining 
 John Patitucci on bass, pianist Danilo Perez 
 and drummer Brian Blade, Downbeat magazine's 
 Critics Poll named the ensemble the 2014 "Jazz 
 Group of the Year." It "celebrates 
 humanity's hope for harmony," says 
 The Guardian (UK). An entire generation of 
 musicians sees Wayne Shorter as a humble master 
 who has created a timeless vocabulary - as 
 vital as it is unbound.\n
