OF COURSE ... 2 1

Upon its release in 2002, this record was created the event! Wayne Shorter after an absence of several years returned to any acoustic! Moreover in a great saxophonist quartet recalling what it was! If we remembered his time with Miles, it was also said that traveling time! Wayne Shorter wise! Why? Think of the classic John Coltrane Quartet ... Trane last thirty created the largest quartet of jazz history. A stable quartet, still sounds today as the epitome of jazz! Wayne waited for the twilight of his sixty years to create his own. A quartet as stable. For here we do not talk about his quartets Blue Note (60). Shorter never had at his side as regular musicians of Danilo Perez (piano), John Pattitucci (bass) and Brian Blade (drums). That said, during a first listen, if you are not accustomed to jazz to such a high level, there is little chance of hanging. The music of uncommon requirement is not consumed. It is tasted, savored. Of the three albums recorded with the quartet, it's definitely my favorite. Without A Net comes next. As for Beyond The Sound Barrier, it seems to me more free, and therefore more difficult. But Footprints Live! what happiness !!!
