Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci & Brian Blade – Legacy of Wayne Shorter with Special Guest Mark Turner

Among the most intensely admired composers in jazz, Wayne Shorter was a true legend whose career stretched over half a century. The golden era of this saxophonist’s extraordinary musical journey was marked by the formation of his quartet with Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, and Brian Blade, who went forth to confound all preconceptions of jazz in a prolific twenty-four years of concerts and Grammy Award winning recordings. Shorter’s great musical legacy lives on through this kindred trio, as they take to ‘Zero Gravity’ – a shared fearlessness espoused by their mentor and Zen guru. Frequently hailed as one of the most influential saxophonists of his generation, Mark Turner rounds out this inspired exploration of the unknown.
