Wayne Shorter

[bertrand]

Still going strong with a major European tour coming up. I hope he puts out a new recording soon.

I saw him last December, and hope to catch him again soon, although I doubt it will be this year, unless he plays a bit at the Monk competition or I trek up to Boston.

Happy b-day Wayne!

Still going strong. I thought the recent releases Beyond The Sound Barrier and Footprints Live were fantastic.

Happy Birthday Mr. Wayne Shorter...

[Free For All]

A happy belated birthday to my favorite jazz composer!

I opened Facebook this morning and saw "Wayne Shorter has accepted your friend request". That was a good way to start the day.

[CJ Shearn]

happy b-day Wayne! Is that really Wayne on his FB?

It appears to be legit, but it might be an assistant or manager posting sometimes (or all of the time, who knows?). Tom Harrell is also on FB, but it seems to be run by a manager.

Yeah, I have a hard time imagining Jimmy Cobb getting up and going on Facebook scrabble every morning...

Happy belated Birthday Mr. Shorter!

Happy Birthday Wayne Shorter! Saw him live in 2004 (front row!) with Perez, Pattituci and Blade. What a great show that was.

Happy Birthday (+1 day) to Wayne!

I heard him once on a triple bill with Chick Corea's Electrik Band and someone else on the Pier in NYC in the mid-80's. I think I'd enjoy his current band a lot more now.

Got tickets to see his quartet at the Salle Pleyel in October!

[Jim Alfredson]

Can he play changes yet?

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite musicians.

[AllenLowe]

you mean the Phil Ochs song?

'Got tickets to see his quartet at the Salle Pleyel in October!'

I noticed on their website that this concert is listed as a tribute to Miles Davis. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that the 10/29 concert is occurring during the time frame of the exhibit below.

Miles Davis – We Want Miles

16 October 2009 to 17 January 2010

Organised with the support of Miles Davis Properties, this exhibition by the Cité de la Musique follows Miles Davis’ musical and personal journey, from his hometown, East St-Louis, to his retrospective concert at La Villette in Paris, just a few weeks before his death.

Beginning in the mid Sixties, Miles Davis began printing “Directions in Music by Miles Davis” on his albums, rather than just his name.

As a tribute to his visionary approach, visitors can discover each of these “directions” along a pathway displaying photographs taken by the biggest names in musical photography, video excerpts from his concerts, instruments he or his travel companions played, rare scores and stage costumes, documents related to the creation of his albums, original releases of his great records, as well as works of art, paintings and sculptures, testifying to an aura which vastly exceeded the sphere of music.
