Wayne Shorter - Jazz
I am currently reading a great book on composer and saxophonist Wayne Shorter. "Footprints" by Michelle Mercer is one that I am taking my time with because it is so good; I don't want it to come to an end! Shorter has always been elusive in the public eye. He is a complex human being with a prolific amount of music.
But Footprints brings out another side of him. Shorter gained worldwide prominence when he helped form Weather Report, and developed what came to be known as Jazz fusion. Footprints gives us a well balanced view of his professional and personal life. It's one I recommend.
