Wayne Shorter    USA    1933-2023

 

enigmatic, intrepid saxophonist

who shaped the color

and contour of modern jazz

as one of its most intensely admired composers

(...)

Mr. Shorter had a sly, confiding style

on the tenor saxophone,

instantly identifiable by his low-gloss tone

and elliptical sense of phrase.

 

His sound was brighter on soprano,

an instrument on which

he left an incalculable influence;

he could be inquisitive,

teasing or elusive, but always

with a pinpoint intonation and clarity of attack.
