In celebration of International Jazz Day, the Berklee Global Jazz Institute (BGJI) presents a virtual reunion with the Wayne Shorter Quartet, livestreamed on the BGJI Facebook page.
“At a time when millions of people are physically separated from each other, culture unites us, connects us, and shorten distances,” says BGJI founder and artistic director Danilo Pérez. “This quartet reunion will highlight the quartet history of mentorship, philosophy, connectivity, and creative music making.”
The Wayne Shorter Quartet was founded in 2000 by Shorter, John Patitucci, Brian Blade, and Pérez. The group won its most recent Grammy Award in 2019 for the album Emanon. In 2018, DownBeat magazine wrote, “Shorter’s longstanding quartet seems to be guided by telepathy, the musical equivalent of quantum mechanics, four men creating musical ideas, motifs, and melodies at the speed of thought.”
How to Watch
Tune in at 2:00 p.m. EDT on the Berklee Global Jazz Institute's Facebook page. If you miss the conversation, archived videos can be found on BGJI's Facebook Videos page.
