I have been in deep appreciation of Wayne Shorter's musical contributions for as long as I have first heard his early work before the band Weather Report existed. I shall mourn in respect and reflect in thought of his memory and musical contributions.

Yes a big loss.  He was involved in several pivotal moments in instrumental music and had a unique and beautiful way of playing.  Great composer too.  Also a very nice person from what I've heard.  We're lucky he was with for so much longer than many of his cohorts.  89's a pretty good score!  RIP

A giant among giants. I remember having an extended conversation with him after a show Weather Report played in a tiny venue at Wesleyan University in CT during the late 70s. So open to discussing any music and with a good dose of zen long before he got into Buddhism.

Yes, truly a legend and i'm thankful that after many years listening to his playing, I managed to see him in concert a few years back.

Really sad, a great person, musician, all together. He got it all... such a loss

The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.
