Quincy Jones & Orchestra – Birth Of A Band / Moanin / Lester Leaps / Gypsy / Tickle Toe / Everybody’s Blues / Big Red

Hard to find a one off performance, but perhaps this is more fitting.

It's underrated the effect he had on modern music. Influential above all belief.

Wayne Shorter Quartet – The Three Marias (from Emanon)

Video

 

Welcome to Wayne Shorter Week! When I saw the lamentably late, legendary virtuoso genre alchemist had not been featured here before, I knew I should dedicate a my guest-hosting week to the many facets of his career.

Here we have a performance of a movement from Emanon, a three-disc concept album that Shorter recorded at 85. His quartet at the time included drummer Brian Blade, pianist Danilo Pérez, and bassist John Patitucci, all of whom play in this performance. The album included a graphic novel co-written by Shorter about an eponymous hero (a hat tip to Dizzy Gillespie’s “Noname”) whose adventures traverse a multiverse and reflect aspects of Shorter’s Nichiren Buddhist spiritual philosophy.
