Wayne Shorter took a huge musical and spiritual leap forward with Atlantis, his first recording as a leader after an11 year hiatus. 00:33 He talks about the collaboration and creation with the artists he recorded it with  and how it transcended the norms for composition something he was criticized for in music class, 01:19 "You mix musical styles,apples and oranges.  Stick to the lesson plan.". 02:25 Then he talks about how he was moved toward the concept of Atlantis itself.  05:45 He describes his musical partnership and friendship with Milton Nascimento and Elis Regina.  09:00 He then talks about Lonette McKee, Maxine Sullivan and acting and playing in the movie Round Midnight with the likes of Herbie Hancock (who won an Oscar for his composition) and  Dexter Gordon (who was nominated for an Oscar for his acting performance). 12:10 Finally his hope for a brighter future he did not live to see.  All images of Atlantis created with Adobe Photoshop/Firefly.
Please excuse my excited utterances. I was young and in the presence of greatness.
