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.
