I saw them this spring here in Zurich, Switzerland. They not only created some of the finest two hours of live music I ever witnessed but, on top of it, they also seem to enjoy themselves while producing the magic. Many times Danilo played a few notes that put an outright smile on Wayne's or John's faces. Must have been some kind of musical inside jokes...
Wayne Shorter Quartet Live WOW
Mortage the dog, sell the wife, pawn the Rolex, beg for change, or whatever you have to do, but don't miss the current tour of The Wayne Shorter Quartet if they come anywhere near you.
Wayne is one of the all time jazz masters, playing at various times with the giants of jazz: Horace Silver, Maynard Ferguson, Art Blakey, Miles Davis, and Herbie Hancock. He was one of the founding members of Weather Report, with Joe Zawinul. This year he is 70 years old, and has three much younger guys with him on tour.
Brian Blade: Drums
John Pattituci: Acoustic bass, sometimes played like a cello
Danilo Perez: Piano
Saw them last Friday night at the Boulder Theater, an incredible venue for live music (home of the E-Town radio broadcasts). This is music and jazz at a whole other level, these guys are making magic.
