Wayne Shorter

Overview

In his 82 years on the planet, jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter has made good use of his time. He's been crucial to some of the most important bands of the past century, including Miles Davis's many ensembles, Weather Report and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. He's played on ten of Joni Mitchell's albums and he's won ten Grammys.

Now, he's returning to Sydney for the first time in six years to close Vivid with an epic concert, featuring pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, and Brian Blade on drums. Expect to hear decades of jazz influences — from old-school standards to '60s avant garde to fusion.
