Description

Saxophonist Wayne Shorter, who passed away earlier this year at age 89, was among the most influential jazz performers and composers of the last half-century. This class will chart his remarkable career, from his career-making turn in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, to his central roles in both Miles Davis’ “Second Great Quintet” and fusion pioneers “Weather Report.” And he remained vital, both as a composer and performer, well into the 21st century. Attendees will listen to classic recordings, watch videos of the master in action, as well as be treated to some live saxophone playing from your instructor.
