The annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 2024, one of the largest festivals in the United States with a long history that attracts the attention of fans around the world, will feature a stage titled “Wayne Shorter’s Legacy,” a supreme live performance by the three members of Shorter’s supreme quartet and Chris Potter, who is currently at the top of saxophonists, as recognized by Shorter himself, on the highest quality stereo soundboard ever! Wayne Shorter, the saxophone master who was the most trusted and closest to the emperor Miles Davis until just before his death. Miles’ golden quintet, Weather Report, V.S.O.P., and the supreme quartet, as well as the three other members of the Shorter Quartet, Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, and Brian Blade, who inherited the will of the great Shorter, who, like Miles, was active at the forefront of the jazz scene where many musicians come and go for more than half a century and left so many legacies. Now, the three continue to work actively as leading figures in the scene, but whenever there is an opportunity, they come together as “Children of the Light” as if they are returning to their roots, and cherish and deepen Shorter’s legacy. Speaking of which, the trio came to Japan just the other day and gave a wonderful performance. This time, the Children of the Light, the three members of the Shorter Quartet at “Wayne Shorter’s Legacy”, the latest highlight program of the 2024 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the largest music festival in the United States, which now attracts not only jazz but also all genres of music fans all over the world, will be performing with Dave Holland, and will surely become a saxophonist who will remain in the history of jazz like Coltrane, Shorter, and Michael Brecker, and there is no one else who can replace Shorter, the current best saxophonist! A big title has arrived, recorded in its entirety on the highest quality stereo soundboard with the label’s own careful mastering of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival performance on May 4, 2024, which is already said to be the number one performance of this year’s jazz live performance, featuring a special quartet with Chris Potter playing all Shorter numbers! ! The performance by the four best improvisers in the current jazz world, Pérez, the pianist praised as a hero of Panama, Patitucci, who leads the jazz bass world, Blade, the most notable modern drummer who is rapidly developing, and Potter, the genius saxophonist who has no time to sleep, is a set of songs, but they each throw out ideas that they come up with on the spot, and throw them back at each other, knowing full well what Shorter’s improvisation is, and they have a high level of sympathy, sometimes stunningly beautiful, sometimes abstract, and the songs continue to change shape while showing various expressions and landing in places that you can’t imagine at all. Following on from Miles Davis and Shorter, they put into practice the principle of “never playing the same way”! Is there any other quartet today that has such sensitivity beyond technique, and is so authentic and musical? With the mysterious sound of Miles Davis’ golden quintet’s late work, “Footprints,” which is strongly influenced by Shorter, and Shorter’s supreme quartet, you will feel as if Wayne Shorter is there! This is truly “Wayne Shorter’s legacy”!
