A kaleidoscope of sounds filled with the joy of life
This is a record of the vibrant music produced by saxophonist Wayne Shorter and his powerful quartet, featuring Brad Mehldau and others.
Wayne Shorter's soprano saxophone radiates a mystical light as it weaves its way through the intricately woven ensemble. The ever-changing rhythmic sequences are given incredible flexibility by the harmonious harmony forged by the elite quartet including Danilo Pérez. Each track combines the classical structural beauty of Villa-Lobos and other musicians with the improvisational qualities of jazz at a high level, dominating the album with an intellectual excitement that effortlessly dissolves the boundaries of genre.
