Wayne Shorter/Germany 2002 & 1990

A must-see video for fans has arrived that combines Wayne Shorter’s old and new pro shot videos in the highest official quality. The first half is a recording of his performance when he appeared on the Jazzbaltica stage in Germany on July 7, 2002, leading a regular quartet and co-starring with the NDR Big Band. Brian Blade and John Patitucci’s powerful rhythm section, Danilo Perez’s piano with a percussive approach, and Shorter’s powerful delivery can be heard on the official CD that contains excerpts from this tour. , I’m really impressed when I see the video. Also, the big band arrangements that are interjected here and there are quite stylish, adding a nice touch of spice to the quartet’s sound, which is considered to be the pinnacle of acoustic jazz. On the other hand, the second half is a live video from Leverkusen Jazztage, which was also held in Germany on October 12, 1990. Opening with “Footprints,” a supreme stage featuring Jim Beard, Lenny Castro, and others, rare music performed during a kind of “blank period” in which he was not doing any major activities. This is a must-see for fans as it is a live performance. The recording time is 113 minutes in professional format with menu chapters.
