Kurzbeschreibung
Saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter has not only left his footprints on our musical terrain, he has created a body of work that is a monument to artistic imagination. Throughout Shorter's extraordinary fifty-year career, his compositions have helped define the sounds of each distinct era in the history of jazz.
Filled with musical analysis by Mercer, enlivened by Shorter's vivid recollections, and enriched by more than seventy-five original interviews with his friends and associates, this book is at once an invaluable history of music from bebop to pop, an intimate and moving biography, and a story of a man's struggle toward the full realization of his gifts and of himself.

Wayne Shorter hat Jazzgeschichte geschrieben und ich würde sagen für jeden Jazzinteressierten ist seine Biographie ein muss. Sein Lebenslauf ist spannend und lehrreich.
Das Buch lässt sich leicht lesen und ist in Zusammenarbeit mit Wayne Shorter entstanden. Es kommen viele seiner früheren und jetztigen Kollegen zu Wort die alle die eine oder andere spannende Anekdote beizutragen haben. Ein Superbuch. Ach ja, die Biographie von Miles ist natürlich auch ein Standard der Jazzliteratur!

Where is Wayne? Right Here
28. Februar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Michelle Mercer has done the seemingly impossible: she has fully inhabited the far-out imagination of one of our greatest, and at times, seemingly most unreachable musicians, and brought back the subject from the outer space he's been confined to. Yes, it's a book about jazz; but only, truly, as an explication of life. Yes, it's a biography, but it's neither a Pollyana bio-pic nor is it a psychobabble psychobiography. Additionally, despite the affirming names of Shorter and Herbie Hancock on the cover, this effort is hardly an as-told-to "approved" bio. It's actually quite wonderfully like its subject: funny, strange, compelling--and as serious as your life.

Shorter bio hits all the right notes
22. Februar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'm a jazz sax player, and just finished reading this book. It's a real page-turner, and I couldn't put it down. Though light on musical analysis (there is no musical notation in the text of the book), it delves deeply into the sources of Shorter's genius and creativity.
The coverage of Shorter's early years, and his obsession with movies (especially The Red Shoes), and with the children's novel The Water Babies, was quite revealing. I hadn't fully realized the extent of his early gifts in the visual arts, and the impact this has had on his playing and compositions.
Shorter's rapid rise to fame in the 50's and 60's receives excellent coverage, especially his association with Art Blakey and Miles Davis. There are priceless anecdotes that I had not heard before, but I'll leave those for the reader to discover.
I was also fascinated by the discussion of the Weather Report years. It was interesting to learn the working dynamics of that group, and the motivations behind Shorter's long association with it.
The latter third of the book (and of Shorter's life) is dominated by the seriousness of his devotion to Buddhist practice, and this influence this has had on his life and work. It seems that through this practice, he has achieved an inner sense of peace, which is evident in his music in the past decade or so.
Like a previous reviewer, I would have appreciated more detailed coverage of the classic Blue Note sessions like Speak No Evil & Adam's Apple, which recieve only passing mention. However, the rest of the narrative is so well constructed that this is a minor flaw, and the overall effort still merits 5 stars. It's the most engaging jazz bio that I've read in a long time.

masterpiece
13. Februar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is book is amazing. I am neither a jazz expert nor a Wayne Shorter authority, but this book "puts me there." It's good writing if I want to continue with a story with which I am not familar and this book does just that. I am educating myself in the world of jazz and this is the best book I've come across yet.
