Bio:
Some say that jazz has made legends. Others say that legends have made jazz. In Wayne Shorter's case, both sides are correct...
"Wayne Shorter is one of the greatest musicians and composers of our time. At age 80, we witness him at the height of his powers and performing with one of the most incredible bands he’s ever assembled."
-- Don Was, President, Blue Note Records
"Wayne Shorter unveiled the future of American music at New Orleans Jazz Fest"
-- New Orleans Times-Picayune, May 5, 2013
Wayne got started with Horace Silver back in the '50s. He moved on to Maynard Ferguson, then to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. He joined Miles in 1964.
In 1970 he formed Weather Report, together with Joe Zawinul and Miroslav Vitous.
Known as much for his composing as for his playing, many of Wayne's complex and sinuous melodies have become jazz standards.

▶ Brazil has something called "jeitinho" (zhay-TEEN-you), the "little way". In a land where the official way is often impossible, people get things done by other means.
▶ The matrix is jeitinho. It allows splendid Brazilian musicians to be discovered and accessed from everywhere. But to work for the Brazilians, it has to work for everyone.
▶ All explained inside the dot-defined window immediately below (curated artists below this window)... from Brazil, with love!
This matrix is predicated on the fact that fame & fortune are not inextricably linked to talent, dedication, and even genius.
Brazil has something called "jeitinho", the "little way". In a country where the official way is so often impossible, people have to be creative. Do end runs around problems and powers-that-be.
