Among the most intensely admired composers in jazz, Wayne Shorter is a true legend whose career stretched over half a century. The golden era of this saxophonist’s extraordinary musical journey was marked by the formation of his quartet with Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, and Brian Blade, who went forth to confound all preconceptions of jazz in a prolific 24-years of concerts and Grammy Award winning recordings. Shorter’s great musical legacy lives on through this kindred trio, as they take to Zero Gravity – a shared fearlessness espoused by their mentor and Zen guru.

Frequently hailed as one of the most influential saxophonists of his generation, saxophonist and former SFJAZZ Collective member Mark Turner rounds out this inspired exploration of the unknown.

Performing their own interpretations of Shorter’s compositions, this quartet seeks to honor his pivotal contributions to jazz.
