Tom Storer Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 [chortle chortle] Had to laugh, Jim S! I'm of two minds about Shorter's "Footprints Live" quartet, but I saw him a couple of months ago with Hancock, Holland, and Blade, and what a quartet they made. Free and oblique but gorgeous nonetheless--rather quiet and low-key but that masked a great intensity and served well a certain flair for the dramatic. Nevertheless I wasn't entirely sure about what I had just listened to; the emotional intensity hadn't quite made it through the long distance to the top of the theatre, where I nestled close to the ceiling. However, the show was broadcast on French radio and I was able to get a copy of it, burned to two CDs. I've been listening to little else for the past week. I find it really quite extraordinary. If they don't release a live album from this tour, they're crazy. Quote
mmilovan Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 (edited) Did someone noticed strange (?) coincidence: Pres and Shorter were born at the same day. I know that Shorter in his youth listened carefully to Lester and admire him a lot, right? Happy Birthday! (And for all natal observers and analizers, Bird was born just few days later) Edited August 27, 2004 by mmilovan Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 Close but not quite. Shorter is 8/25, Young is 8/27. Mike Quote
