Product description
Recorded by Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers on the classic 1961 album Mosaic, this jazz standard shows the harmonically mature writing style of Wayne Shorter along with an intense hard bop energy. Mark's uptempo swing chart opens with a small group on the head with accompaniment figures from the rest of the ensemble. A tenor sax solo is featured followed by solo space for drums.
Wayne Shorter (1933 - 2023) was an American jazz saxophonist, composer and bandleader. He came to wider public attention in 1959 when he joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, for whom he became the principal composer. He joined Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet in 1964 and then co-founded the jazz fusion group Weather Report in 1970. Many of his compositions have become jazz standards, and his music has won worldwide acclaim, critical praise and recognition. Shorter has won 12 Grammy Awards. He has been praised for his mastery of the soprano saxophone.
