WAYNE SHORTER QUARTET
Monte Carlo 2016 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival, Opera Garnier, Monte Carlo, Monaco; December 1, 2016. Very good FM broadcast.
montecarlolive.com:
After Sonny Rollins, we naturally needed another jazz and saxophone giant to write the history of the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival: Wayne Shorter. He celebrated his 80th birthday at the legendary Pinède-Gould in Juan-les-Pins and comes this time as a wise octogenarian to show the public of the Principality that jazz has no age. Wayne had written this music’s history on the Blue Note label before playing alongside Miles Davis with Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Ron Carter in the ’60s. From hard-bop to electro fusion, these musicians have invented it all.
So yes, Wayne certainly deserves this special event at the Opera Garnier Monte-Carlo, a veritable living legend who constantly pushes back the boundaries of improvisation with this “magic quartet” as the historian Michel Delorme has nicknamed them. Co-founder of Weather Report with Joe Zawinul, Wayne has been able to find a new equilibrium with pianist Danilo Perez, double bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade. “When I’m with them, something strange happens. We never know what we’re going to play even if I know I can draw from my own compositions if need be. However, very often it results in improvisations and creations based on where we find ourselves”, confides Wayne Shorter. It’s the “Rolls” of quartets that will be appearing on December the 1st at the Opera Garnier. Another page in the history of jazz in Monte-Carlo. This year’s event!
