Wayne Shorter Quartet -- a show worth seeing

Jla, I have to confess that I was not very familiar with Pattitucci before going to the show -- do you have any recommendations for albums on which he's played?

I know all these jazzmen well from the band. Wayne Shorter was once working in Material project of Bill Laswel along with speach performer William Burroghs. He was so different there from Weather Report! As to John Patitucci, he not once played for Chick Corea and created some of the solo albums as well on brilliant Concord Jazz label that i consider as reference for all red-book CDs. I have his album "One More Angel" which has a great music and superb recording.

Swingman,

Here are my top 10 favorite titles that John Patitucci plays on.

1) Steve Kahn / Got My Mental

2) Chick Corea Akoustic Band / Live From The Blue Note Tokyo (Import) Also includes Vinnie Colaiuta on drums....this is an absoulte must have. I think you can get on Amazon or better yet try Audiphileimports.com.

3)Jeff Beal / Three Graces

4) John Patitucci / Sketchbook

5) The Randy Waldman Trio / Wigged Out

6)Mike Stern / Give And Take

7)The Roy Haynes Trio Featuring Danilo Perez & John Patitucci

8) Gary Burton & Friends / Departure

9) Andy Laverne / Pleasure Seekers

10) Chick Corea Elektric Band / Beneath The Mask

5{ 't believe I forgot to put this on the Patitucci list:

Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Roy Hardgrove / Directions In Music, Celecbrating the Music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, Live at Massey Hall. Featuring John Patitucci and Brian Blade.

Also, if you like Brian Blade check out Chris Potter / Gratitude, Joshua Redman's newest release Elastic and Yaya3.

I'd second that Roy Haynes album. Nice recording and tunes in a trio format with a Latin tinge.
