| | JuJu (Wayne Shorter album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | JuJu is an album by Wayne Shorter, recorded and released on Blue Note in 1964. | | | The album shows the strong influence of John Coltrane, with whom Shorter had studied as an undergraduate, and whose style is reflected here both in performance and composition. | | | The original liner notes for JuJu (by Nat Hentoff) made no mention of Coltrane, nor of Shorter's apprenticeship with him; Bob Blumenthal, author of the liner notes for the new Rudy Van Gelder edition of the album, speculates that this was a deliberate omission. |

| | Jazz Artist Interview - Wayne Shorter@ jazzreview.com |
| | Wayne Shorter: We were busy, all of us were busy basking the fact that we were all together and that Miles was a person who could realize the combination of something in people in music, in a way that held true to that unique sound and musical process that went on. | | | Wayne Shorter: We used to talk about stuff but we didn’t talk about music all the time. | | | Though “Alegria” is Shorter’s first all acoustic statement since 1967’s “Schizophrenia” with Herbie, Ron and Joe Chambers, when asked what’s with the return to acoustic music Shorter gives it little credence, taking it with a grain of salt and seasoning responses with his own offhand, quirky sense of humor. |

| | The Complete Wayne Shorter |
| | Shorter's talents were even in demand outside the jazz world around this time, as he found himself recording with top pop artists like Joni Mitchell and Steely Dan. | | | With the 1985 release of Atlantis, Wayne Shorter reasserted himself as one of the world's premier composers and performers of progressive music. | | | All of the music is legitimately licensed from record labels and artists, so you can feel comfortable knowing that songwriters, musicians and other copyright-holders are being fairly compensated for their work. |

| | Wayne Shorter, throughout his career, has continued to astound everyone in the jazz world and this album is by no means away from that path. | | | Wayne Shorter's triumphant return to acoustic jazz on his Grammy nominated live album, Footprints, set the stage for this forward thinking and unique item in his discography. | | | Shorter's soprano and tenor playing is his most expressive in years, and producer Robert Sadin (who worked on Herbie Hancock's Gershwin's World and Kathleen Battle's So Many Stars) has provided Shorter with his most poignant sonic setting on record. |

| | Jelly review: Wayne Shorter |
| | "Valse Triste" is from a 1965 Shorter solo album, and "Juju" is from one of his 1964 sessions. | | | Believe it or not, "Footprints Live!" is Wayne Shorter's first all-acoustic album since 1967, his first disc as a leader since 1994's "High Life," and his first live recording - ever. | | | If the only Shorter you know is the one who played on those landmark Weather Report albums, this release will open a new window to a time period before his Zawinal-associated days. |

| | Wayne Shorter: Footprints: The Life and Music of Wayne Shorter - PopMatters Music Review |
| | There is one track apiece from each of Shorter's three mid-'80s albums, where the production values of the time increasingly smother the sensitivities in his tone, and lock the implicit languor of his compositional lines in metronomic percussion. | | | By the time Shorter was enticed to join Miles Davis' quintet, he had recorded a few solo albums on Vee Jay records. | | | Shorter's improvisation -- still showing the influence of Coltrane -- retains the richness of the full bebop vocabulary. |

| | Wayne Shorter: Beyond the Sound Barrier - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Wayne Shorter, widely considered to be a difficult but unquestioned jazz master, seems finally ready to record and tour as a leader in the music. | | | Shorter gives the soundtrack music a decidedly cinematic treatment, with the track moving through different rhythmic phases rather than through a string of static solos. | | | Wayne's group attempts the same balance -- with most tunes developing through dialogue toward the melody rather than plainly stating the melody and then stepping through solos, one by one. |

| | Shorter's four post-Weather Report solo albums have been no less controversial, but even so it was surprising to see the vitriol evoked by his latest, High Life (Verve), on the front page of the Sunday October 15 New York Times Arts & Leisure section. | | | And always there is Shorter's remarkable soprano sax, one of the most recognizable voices in jazz, pure, keening, spinning dramatically structured solos, using space as often as volume and velocity to create drama. | | | High Life is a style, one that applies jazz orchestral ideas to pop themes, and it's not for everyone. |

| | Wayne Shorter: Alegria |
| | Shorter actually began working with the quartet on this album prior to the tour that resulted in Footprints. | | | What is surprising is the way Shorter works with a large group of musicians on many tracks to provide beautiful settings for his trademark soprano and tenor playing. | | | Just listen to the Shorter’s arrangement for “Serenata,” utilizing flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and cello; it evokes Miles Ahead while managing to be completely fresh and original because of Shorter’s individual voice in the arrangements and his beautiful soprano work. |

| | With a wild soprano wail, Shorter leads off the CD with his new, absorbing boogaloo "Sacajawea," one that soon morphs into searching, nearly free jazz, with a magisterial solo from the composer. | | | Yet, the core message of this album is that Shorter was ready to move on to different things, drawing material from almost anything that caught his attention while soloing in top form on tenor and soprano saxes. | | | Indeed, at this point in the 21st century, it was fascinating to see both Shorter and his former Davis bandmate, Herbie Hancock, radically reinterpreting their past, working separately yet often using the same bassist and drummer (Patitucci and Blade) and recording for the same label. |

| | Shorter went on a tear in the mid-60s, releasing two albums a year filled with classic compositions and performances, in addition to his work with Miles Davis, and though this is widely regarded as the best of the bunch, I don't recommend starting here. | | | Once again, the whole band fell apart except for Zawinul and Shorter; the new lineup was Victor Bailey (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), and Manu Cinelu (percussion), who contributes a folk song in Haitian Creole that's the record's not-so-high high point. | | | Unusually blues-oriented and accessible for Shorter: he covers Jimmy Rowles' "502 Blues (Drinkin' and Drivin')," the title track is a familiar-sounding blues, and "El Gaucho" is another straightforward crowdpleaser. |

| | One of the biggest surprises on Alegria is Shorter's use of acoustic instruments to produce textures as inventive as those he achieved by electronic means throughout the '70s and '80s with Weather Report and on his own. | | | Over the phone from his Florida home, Shorter tells the story of the piece "Vendiendo Alegria," which appears on his 2003 Verve release, Alegria: "Miles Davis gave me the sheet music around '65." He adopts a Miles-like rasp. | | | Five years on, Shorter has finally released a version of the piece, and like everything else on Alegria, it sounds timeless. |

And today, at age seventy, he is leading the Wayne Shorter Quartet, a group that critics have compared to Coltrane's classic quartet and to Davis's own groundbreaking quintet. | | | In many ways, Wayne Shorter's story is the story of modern American music. |

I've never rated McCoy Tyner either - like Oscar Peterson he puts too much filigree on his improvisational lines. | | | However, his most recent Quartet with Danilo Perez has recorded an album features the title track and, if anything, proves that Wayne Shorter has gotten better with age. |

| | Miles turns around to me this one time," recalls the 71-year-old New Jersey jazz giant, "and he says, 'Wayne, do you ever get tired of playing music that sounds like music?'. | | | Wayne was always out there on his own plane, orbiting his own planet," Davis once wrote, and he seems unlikely to dock before his Umbria Jazz Melbourne 05 shows this weekend. | | | Also of note, his quartet in Australia consists of Brian Blade, John Patitucci, and JASON MORAN, which sounds like a very interesting addition to the group. |
