For decades, composer and saxophonist
Wayne Shorter has led one of the more impressive quartets in jazz. With pianist
Danilo Perez, bassist
John Patitucci, and drummer
Brian Blade,
the 85-year-old saxophonist has explored the connections between
chamber music and jazz. This band rehearses on-stage, creating
innovative architectures via in-the-moment dialogue and improvising with
unbridled freedom that never gives way to excess. Emanon is their first
recording in five years and conceptual in nature. It comprises a
four-part suite in a studio date from 2013 with the Orpheus Chamber
Ensemble, and two 2016 live discs of the quartet playing the Emanon
material with other tunes.
