The maestro Wayne Shorter passed away yesterday. He was a monumental musician, a masterful improvisor and a fixture on the jazz scene for more than half a century. Shorter was known for a free form of improvisation and a complete disregard for risk on the stage. He was fearless and brilliant.
I (Bobby) never saw him play, even though I had the chance a few years ago. It was a decision I regretted then and, even more so, now. His death promoted this discussion about allowing ourselves the opportunity to experience life, to break our routines and actually do the things we think about doing.
If you want to check out Wayne Shorter's music, take some time and listen to Speak No Evil, Juju or Without a Net. Also, check out the song Endangered Species off the Live at the Detroit Jazz Festival album. It won this year's Grammy for best improvised jazz solo.
