Wayne Shorter (born the August 25th 1933 with Newark, New Jersey, with the the United States) is a Saxophoniste (tenor and soprano) and Compositeur of American Jazz .
Its many compositions and its participation in major groups of the history of the jazz make Wayne Shorter one of the most important musicians of jazz resulting from the years 1960.
In 1964, it integrates the new quintet of Miles Davis (trumpet) with Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (low) and Tony Williams (battery). Within this formation, Wayne Shorter will quickly become the author of the majority of the pieces, before following Miles Davis in the adventure of the Jazz-rock'n'roll ( In has Silent Way , Bitches Brew ), passing then to the soprano saxophone.
In parallel, Wayne Shorter records ten discs as a leader during the years 1960. In 1971, it leaves Miles Davis to create with Joe Zawinul the group Weather Report (Jazz-rock'n'roll) where there will remain 15 years.
After various collaborations, then an absence of a few years following the death of his wife (1996), it reforms her own group in 2000. This formation takes again the many compositions of its leader by reinventing them, and meets an important success as well near criticisms as of the public.
