Wayne Shorter Has passed

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!

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

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. 

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

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

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. 

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

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

Superb musician. RIP

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

Speak no Evil.

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

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

This is huge. Thanks for letting us know.

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

Not in my world.

Herbie, Tina and Wayne.
