Bless the family.  
A great, great artist who blessed us all with an incredible wealth of great, innovative art.

This is huge. Thanks for letting us know.

I will be playing me some Shorter tonight and toasting a great artist. Enjoy the music

Truly a legend and a grievous loss I have some Shorter queued up next.

A great artist indeed and a legend, sadly the list grows.

Speak no Evil.

Knew his work best from his collaborations with Herbie Hancock, especially as part of The Headhunters.

Superb musician. RIP

Wayne played on Steely Dan Aja....what a talent. RIP Wayne

Been busy all day, and just found out. He was a giant, leaving a great legacy. Had the good fortune of seeing/hearing him live a couple of times. Feel the loss, but he'll still be with us. 

He was part of the great Miles Davis 60's quartet. RIP!

A great One! Great catalog as well. R.I.P.

His Blue Notes and the Second Great Quintet recordings are some of my very favorite music, period. 

"Juju" was the first Jazz LP I bought. I had no idea how it sounded-- I bought it for the cover art. When the needle dropped, I was not disappointed. 

@stuartk "House of Jade" from "Juju" would be the theme music to my Jazz show if I had one.

Up to that point, I'd been strictly a Rock listener but I found "JuJu" and "Night Dreamer" quite accessible, due to Shorter’s highly melodic themes.

I very much doubt the transition would’ve been as easy, had I chosen a Don Cherry, Andrew Hill or Sam Rivers Blue Note!
