Biografia
One of America's greatest saxophonists and composers, Wayne Shorter is among jazz's most renowned figures, admired for his open-minded approach as demonstrated during his spell with the crossover group Weather Report. From Newark in New Jersey, he took up playing the saxophone in his teens and, after a spell in the US Army, he joined Art Blakey's band in 1959, eventually becoming musical director until Miles Davis persuaded him to join his quintet.
Shorter composed some of his best material with the Davis group, remaining with them for some of his most influential jazz fusion albums including 'In a Silent Way' and 'Bitches Brew'. It led to nine solo albums for the Blue Note label - notably 'Night Dreamer', 'JuJu' and 'Speak No Evil' - and a move towards a more free-form jazz approach. In 1970 he formed the jazz fusion group Weather Report with keyboardist Joe Zawinul, making a series of albums that laced jazz with numerous different styles including Latin, funk and world, before the band's split in 1985.
Along the way Shorter made memorable contributions to other people's albums, notably Steely Dan's 1977 record 'Aja', ten albums with Joni Mitchell and the Don Henley hit 'The End of Innocence', while also touring extensively with Carlos Santana and playing his distinctive saxophone on the Harrison Ford movie 'The Fugitive' in 1993. In '97 he got rave reviews for his '1+1' collaboration with Herbie Hancock and continued to achieve great acclaim for his recordings for the Verve label through the 2000s.
He was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz in 2013 and the same accolade from the Grammys the year after. He was given the Guggenheim Fellowship grant for jazz composition in 2016 and was joint winner of the Polar Music Prize in 2017. He toured with Carlos Santana and Herbie Hancock under the moniker Mega Nova in 2016 and he released 'Emanon', his 26th studio album, in 2018.
