Wayne Shorter - Footprints

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo my fellow Bodhisattva! Best journeys and see you again!

I LIKE IT

the effortlessly fluid and loose sound which set this group apart demonstrated to perfection.

The great Wayne Shorter was a late bloomer and only started playing music well into his teens, bringing an outsider’s point of view to his work by drawing on diverse artistic canons. Although he played jazz, Shorter’s music drew from his background in the visuals and aesthetics from classical composers.

While Shorter’s genius and impact are beyond dispute, an equally important part of his legacy is his unique vision, informed by his diverse interests and determination to follow idiosyncratic musical directions. Shorter’s commitment to a nonconformist perspective is essential to understanding his music and a reminder to follow our own creative visions, even if we can’t play the saxophone or write a tune like Shorter could.

wow, 2023 and his vibes are in incredible

One of my favorite jazz tunes. His soloing was so consistently brilliant, so full of ideas and sensivity. This period and the Miles Davis period put him among the greatest.

Joe Chambers absolutely kills that double time feel on the third chorus of Herbie's solo.

LEGEND!

RIP Mr Shorter. I know that you and Trane, are both soloing in Paradise.

Discovered Wayne when he was with Art Blakey...along side Curtis Fuller and Freddie Hubbard...killer combination.
Had this album on vinyl back in the 70s...traded it in, along with many other classic BN records, for cash when cd's took over. Huge regret.

Just love the jazz from the 60s and 70s

Treasure

Mi aggiungo a tutti quanti rimpiangono e ricordano con affetto questo ottimo sassofonista!Che concerti e che pezzi ha suonato e anche composto,inventato e riorganizzato con grandissimo talento.👏

Worked on a shoot with him. Probably 20 years ago. He was easily the best live musician I have ever seen.

Sorry I its so much

RIP Mr. Shorter! The Legend! Words can’t express the loss of a truly gifted and influential musician!

I just learnt about this brother today. Medaase pii, Good Black News for the Good Black Music! This is coming from a warm place, my heart, in chilly Bermuda.

RIP, Mr. Shorter.

A brilliant musician who could never have been accused of "Short changing any of his fans"!!! From Adrian 1965

RIP Wayne, you have been a source of inspiration for so many

Gracias W Shorter.
Descansa en paz... pero seguirás entre nosotros con tu música..

RIP... you GIANT. Thanks for being in my life🙏

Beautiful. RIP our loss is Heaven's gain.

I saw Weather Report in a little cabaret in OKC (of all places) on the Domino Theory tour. Wayne Shorter is part of what is probably the most memorable musical experience of my life. Gone, but not forgotten...

One of the greats, between his solo work and collaborations with Weather Report and Miles. This composition is just beautiful. Rest in peace, Wayne.

the blues does not get much deeper than Wayne Shorter

Hello, Jahsonic here, I'm trying to find a vocal version (not Kitty Margolis), perhaps released on a Gilles Peterson or Soul Jazz compilation. I remember distinctly that I used to listen to and love such a vocal version. Does anyone known which version I have in mind? Thanks in advance!

I already miss you Mr. Shorter!!

RIP, genius visionary.
