Wayne Shorter is one of the most important American jazz musicians of his generation. You could call him jazz's greatest living composer. The virtuoso saxaphonist has recorded over 20 albums as a leader, and appeared with others including Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the 1950s, Miles Davis' second great quintet in the 1960s and the jazz fusion band Weather Report, which Shorter co-led in the 1970s. hear the music of Wayne Shorter tonight on the 9 O'clock special on K-Jazz, 91.5.
