Wayne Shorter Quintet / Austria / 07.10.1996 FM Broadcast Edition

This 72-minute recording captures Wayne Shorter’s quartet’s July 10, 1996 performance in Vienna, Austria, using a soundboard recording from an FM broadcast master. Shorter was a masterful musical director in Miles Davis’s band and a leading figure in the 70s and 80s jazz/fusion scene with Weather Report, his co-led band with Joe Zawinul. The electric band’s ensemble is robust, especially with the masterful keyboard work of Jim Baird and bass by his Weather Report bandmate Alphonso Johnson, showcasing the exceptional approach characteristic of this period and making it a must-have for longtime fans.
