Wayne Shorter

[Toy Revolver]

this is a Wayne Shorter RIP thread and recommended listening guide for some who might find it useful

recommended starting point



JuJu -1965

the band includes Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner from Coltrane's classic quarter and Reggie Workman who also played on several Coltrane records


Second Up




Heavy Weather

This record has pretty much universal appeal

Third Up



The Freedom Rider

Shorter was big with the Jazz Messengers - this is a cool fun hip record

Fourth Up



In a Silent Way - Miles Davis

if you haven't listened to much of his work with miles this should inspire deeper investigation


Lastly



great bandleader work which includes Herbie Hancock


well i'm only going with five

hope someone finds this helpful
