Wayne Shorter... RIP.

Well this is an absolute gut punch.

Wayne is one of my all time favorite Sax-men; an absolute giant! His playing was super influential to me as a saxophonist.

Fcuk. I need to cry a little...

Dammit!

This is starting out as a bad year.

 

[ryanosaur]

So much good music...

My meager tribute, all songs written and performed by Wayne, focusing on cuts that weren't necessarily the most famous:

El Gaucho (from Adam's Apple)

Infant Eyes (Speak No Evil)

Pinocchio (A Tribute To Miles)

One By One (Ugetsu)

Diana (1+1)

Only a drop in the bucket from a great artist's lifetime of creating, sharing...

We lost another GREAT today

Yes, indeed. Unfortunately, the clock only runs in one direction for all of us.

A loss indeed. RIP
