Wayne Shorter - Live At Montreux 1996
Review by Kelly Rai
Live At Montreux 1996, the album by Wayne Shorter, is a captivating and masterful performance that showcases the jazz icon's talent and versatility. Recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the album features Shorter's quintet, which includes Danilo Perez on piano, John Patitucci on bass, Brian Blade on drums, and Alex Acuna on percussion.
From the opening track, "On The Milky Way Express," it's clear that Shorter and his band are in top form. The musicians play with a sense of urgency and intensity that draws the listener in and keeps them engaged throughout the album. Shorter's saxophone playing is particularly impressive, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies and soaring solos into each song.
The album features a mix of Shorter's original compositions and jazz standards, such as "Footprints" and "Speak No Evil." Each song is given a fresh and dynamic interpretation, with the band members showcasing their individual talents while also working together seamlessly as a unit.
One of the highlights of the album is the epic 23-minute performance of "Atlantis," which builds to a thrilling climax as Shorter and his bandmates push the boundaries of jazz improvisation. The audience's enthusiastic response is a testament to the power and virtuosity of the performance.
