Plus special guests.
Shorter’s remarkable career spanned six decades. Rising to prominence with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, where he became the group’s principal composer, he went on to become a defining voice in Miles Davis’s legendary Second Great Quintet before co-founding the groundbreaking jazz fusion group Weather Report. His extraordinary catalogue of compositions — from the haunting beauty of Infant Eyes and Fall to the harmonic sophistication of Speak No Evil, Footprints and Witch Hunt — helped transform the language of modern jazz and continues to inspire musicians across generations.
