| Astonishing Return |
| 12.02.03 (2:07 am) [edit] |
Tenor and soprano saxophonist Wayne Shorter, like his
peer Sonny Rollins, wouldn‚t have to record another
note to have his legacy secured by the music he waxed in
the sixties. But, also, like Rollins, Shorter has made
fitfull attempts to extend his legacy in the decades
since, attempts compromised by their sailing the changing
winds of post-bop. Yet, again like Rollins, his
relentless sensibility has won out, and, on this fully
realized acoustic date, „Footprints Live!‰, he
makes music at least on a par with his reknowned earlier
work. Recent dates hardly hinted at this return to form.
Here, at the head of his working quartet [Danilo
Perez (piano), John Patitucci (bass), Brian Blade
(drums)] he revisits his own classic compositions and
etches solos everybit as gripping as his very best
work.
