7/4 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 Wayne Shorter Birthday Broadcast Aug 25, 2013, 2pm, edst to Aug 26 at midnight. "We’ll be kicking off our five-day birthday festival this Sunday with thirty-four hours of Wayne Shorter, celebrating his 80th birthday from 2pm, on Sunday August 25th until midnight, August 26th. Active since the late 1950s, saxophonist and composer Shorter bears a career that spans over multiple decades, marked by tenures with Art Blakey, Miles Davis, and Weather Report.One of the greatest living jazz composers today, many of Shorter's compositions -- including "Footprints," "Nefertiti," and "E. S. P." -- have become jazz standards. Tune in to hear everything from his master works, including "Juju" and "Speak No Evil," to his compositional works played by his contemporaries and more." http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/story/wayne-shorter-birthday-broadcast-august-25-2pm-august-26th-midnight Quote
Tom 1960 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 Let me also add since I'm presently listening to the broadcast, there will be similar celebrations in the coming days to Lester Young and Charlie Parker. Good listening for those interested. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 Wayne Shorter birthday broadcast kicks off at 2pm! Listen until tomorrow (Monday) at midnight, and then we move into the Lester Young birthday broadcast, followed by Charlie Parker! What a week! Quote
Michael Weiss Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 Interminable yakking between tunes. I've been waiting here at least 15 minutes to hear a song. And it's not Phil Shaap! Quote
7/4 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Posted August 25, 2013 Aw...it ain't that bad. Almost six hours in, I need a break from music. Quote
Michael Weiss Posted August 26, 2013 Report Posted August 26, 2013 A few minutes of talk, okay, but I didn't ask for no history lesson, least of all from some punk. Quote
sgcim Posted August 26, 2013 Report Posted August 26, 2013 Interminable yakking between tunes. I've been waiting here at least 15 minutes to hear a song. And it's not Phil Shaap! Phil trains these guys to yap just like him, but it's never as deadly as when Phil goes on one of his 40 minute jags... Still, I've got tons of Cedar and Wayne on tape now... Quote
