Danilo Perez John Patitucci,Brian Blade/Germany 10.28.2017

This album captures a gem of a live performance held in Frankfurt in 2017. The overwhelming sense of unity cultivated over more than 20 years within the Wayne Shorter Quartet is elevated to its absolute limit in this minimal piano trio setting, making it a truly precious record. Danilo Perez, from Panama, delivers lyrical and colorful piano playing; John Patitucci’s bass possesses an overwhelming presence; and Brian Blade’s drumming is full of soul. The three musicians weave their sounds together in an equal partnership, seamlessly moving between silence and dynamism—a perfect example of modern jazz interplay. This is an album we confidently recommend not only to modern jazz fans but also to listeners captivated by the Wayne Shorter Quartet’s world. A must-have title that allows you to fully appreciate the true value of this leading 21st-century jazz trio, along with the unique tension of a live performance. Live At Frankfurt.
