Bio / info

Wayne Shorter (born August 25, 1933, died March 1, 2023) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. He first garnered acclaim as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the 50s, then went on to play with Miles Davis through the 60s and into the 70s electric period. He co-founded Weather Report in 1970. His first release as leader came in 1959, and he continued to operate as a solo artist through his tenure with Miles Davis and Weather Report. Many of his compositions have entered the standard repertoire of jazz.
