Details Release Date: May 21, 2002; Lead Performance: Wayne Shorter; Genre: Jazz

This rare live acoustic CD sizzles with the invention and mystery that make Shorter one of the most distinctive living saxophonists. With flexible and selectively fiery bandmates -- pianist Danilo Perez, drummer Brian Blade, bassist John Patitucci -- Shorter explores assorted originals from his '60s glory stint with Miles Davis. As with that unit, structures are kept loose, open to the muse's touch. Said muse shows up repeatedly.
