Wayne Shorter’s best-known solo might be the one he cut forSteely Dan’s “Aja.” But he was no stranger to playing with musicians in more popular genres. He not only played on two Santana albums, but formed a band with Santana that toured and played Montreux. He played the soaring sax part on the last tune closing out the Rolling Stones’ Bridges to Babylon. And from 1977–2002, he played on ten Joni Mitchell albums.

Thanks; I had fun putting it together. He was an incredible musician who was always looking to expand his art & horizons.
