Wayne Shorter Quartet - Live in Paris

Wayne Shorter’s maxim is to reinvent his music in each concert, always again in the radical originality. After his legendary work with the Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, the Second Miles Davis Quintet and his years with Weather Report in his year 2000, Wayne Shorter formed the Wayne Shorter Quartet, the first formation under his own name. This group provides him with the freedom to reinvent and form his music always again. He sees the celebrated soloists Brian Blade, John Patitucci and Danilo Pérez less as sidemen but rather as equal elements of an organism. They call their method ”Zero Gravity“, an original state of music which they always re-conjure in the interaction, and which is the basis of their explorative journeys into new musical territory. The concert recorded here took place on 3rd November, 2012 at the Salle Pleyel in Paris.
