Jazz Bastard Podcast 263 - Mr. Gone

With Wayne Shorter's death at age 89, jazz lost an innovative composer, saxophonist and bandleader.  Mike knew a tribute was needed but didn't want to explore the usual suspects, so the boys take a trawl through lesser-known aspects of Shorter's career (while throwing in an overview as well to orient the less familiar).  We look at his work as a sideman (both celebrated and little known), his brief re-emergence as a leader in the mid-seventies, and his acoustic comeback with his great quartet of the two-thousands.  Anthony Williams - SPRING: Miles Davis - COMPLETE LIVE AT THE PLUGGED NICKEL; Wayne Shorter - NATIVE DANCER, FOOTPRINTS LIVE.
