Wayne Shorter

DIGIPACK EDITION

There is no straight line between Adam’s Apple and Super Nova. The list of differences between the two albums is long, unsurprising given the radically changing times, when modernist jazz conventions were refracted into new spectra of sounds. However, they share the singular voice of Wayne Shorter, who, within the span of three years, significantly reshaped what was daring in jazz, and would continue to do so throughout the next three years with Weather Report. - Bill Shoemaker
