The Soothsayer! A Nod to Wayne Shorter
March 5 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10.76 – $20.76
Can there be too much of a good thing? Evidently, Blue Note Records thought so. Wayne Shorter was setting the Jazz world on fire, as music director and primary composer of the Jazz Messengers and his own recordings on Blue Note. After the 1964 releases of “Night Dreamer”, “Juju” and “Speak No Evil” , Blue Note decided to hold back the release of his newest record, a sextet featuring Wayne with Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Due to the plethora of landmark recordings, it stayed it the Blue Note vaults for 15 years. When it was released in 1979, it was received like a newly discovered treasure chest!
This show will give the audience the opportunity to hear Wayne's great compositions and arrangements played in the same sequence as the recording. With this crack ensemble of virtuoso players, you hear what a buried treasure really sounds like!
