Second Genesis
Wayne Shorter
Born in Newark, New Jersey, on August 25, 1933,
saxophonist Wayne Shorter (who is 86 at this writing)
was described by jazz critic Ben Ratliff of the New
York Times as "probably jazz's greatest living smallgroup
composer and a contender for greatest living
improviser." Many of Shorter's compositions have
become jazz standards. His output has earned
worldwide recognition, critical praise and various
commendations, including multiple Grammy Awards.
Presented here is Shorter's complete LP Second
Genesis. Although his music would become much more
experimental after joining Miles Davis' quintet a few
years later, Shorter can still be heard here in the postbop
style--more akin to the music he performed during
that same period with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
