Wayne Shorter Quartet Wayne Shorter/Norway 1987

This is a live recording from a relatively rare period of Wayne Shorter’s career. It also includes a soundboard recording. The recording had some flaws, such as strong hiss on some tracks and rough fade transitions, but it has been remastered. There is some noise in the latter half of the last track due to the master, but please note that this was impossible to fix. In Shorter’s later years, the lineup was almost fixed, but this is a rare lineup, and the keyboard is Jim Baird, who is also famous for his sessions with fusion guitarists such as Pat Metheny and John McLaughlin. Unfortunately, he passed away this year (2024), so this is a rare recording. Recorded Live at Unknown Venue, Voss, Norway, April 14, 1987 01. FLAGSHIPS 02. PLAZA REAL 03. THE THREE MARIAS 04.
