  • Summary

  • Through nearly 70 years of music-making, Wayne Shorter gave his spirit, intelligence, and singular vision to the music called jazz. Always exploring and always pushing the boundaries, Wayne expanded and enriched the musical landscape – in his own band, and in some of the most important ensembles in jazz: Weather Report, The Miles Davis Quintet, and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.

    As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profiles,” this episode about Wayne Shorter was produced in 1999 by Nick Lloyd and Adam Emmert – and narrated by the show host Nancy Wilson.

    The “Jazz Profiles” shows – nearly 200 of them – are part of the Tim Owens Jazz & Broadcast Collection at the University of North Texas Music Library. In a partnership with Tim and UNTML, we’ve picked a handful of noteworthy shows to share with you. You can find more “Jazz Profiles” shows at the UNT Music Library’s Jazz Syndicate (www.library.unt.edu/jazzsyndicate), and learn more about 32 Bar Blues' clothing collection and commitment to the arts at 32barblues.com
