Wayne Shorter has passed away. He was one of the greats.

Here’s Infant Eyes from "Speak no Evil"

Been busy all day, and just found out. He was a giant, leaving a great legacy. Had the good fortune of seeing/hearing him live a couple of times. Feel the loss, but he'll still be with us. 

His Blue Notes and the Second Great Quintet recordings are some of my very favorite music, period. 

"Juju" was the first Jazz LP I bought. I had no idea how it sounded-- I bought it for the cover art. When the needle dropped, I was not disappointed. 

 

@stuartk "House of Jade" from "Juju" would be the theme music to my Jazz show if I had one.
