Description:
Personnel: Wayne Shorter (soprano & tenor saxophones); Danilo Perez (piano); John Patitucci (bass); Brian Blade (drums).
Recorded live at Festival De Jazz, Vitoria-Gastiez, Spain; Jardins Palais Longchamps, Marseilles, France; and the Umbria Jazz Festival, Perugia, Italy in July 2001.
FOOTPRINTS LIVE! was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.
Recorded during a Western European barnstorming tour during the summer of 2001 (jazz festival season), Wayne Shorter and his star-studded quartet draw from his deep well of distinctive original material. When listening to the high level of kinetic and at times, fiery interplay on this disc, one is reminded of Miles Davis' famous quote to his band of the 1960's, "I pay you guys to rehearse on stage." In fact, as strong as Shorter's best tunes are, the gems of this disc are the improvised sections. These guys can go from a whisper to a roar and back again at the drop of a hat, sounding almost giddy with their facility. One of the amazing things about Wayne Shorter, like fellow tenor man Sonny Rollins, is how he found a different way to go in the '60s rather than becoming a Coltrane epigone as countless others did. On FOOTPRINTS LIVE!, we can hear the prodigious and fragrant fruits of his decidedly alternative and widely influential career.
