Event Details
Join us as the TowneBank Jazz Series celebrates one of the world's greatest composers and jazz saxophonists of all time – Wayne Shorter. As equally renowned for his compositions as his saxophone playing, Shorter contributed many songs to the jazz canon while participating in some of the major changes in jazz music for more than 50 years. He received 12 GRAMMY awards for his recordings and was recognized with a lifetime achievement honor from the Recording Academy in 2015. Shorter was a seminal member of Mile Davis' famous quintet of the 1960s and co-founded one of the most successful jazz fusion bands ever, Weather Report. In 2023, Netflix released Zero Gravity, a moving documentary on his life produced by Brad Pitt.
