In Saxophone News: Wayne Shorter
Why We’re Obsessed With Wayne Shorter
NPR.org
This past Monday had NPR.org posting a in-depth interview with Wayne Shorter’s biographer, Michelle Mercer. Obviously one of Wayne Shorter’s biggest fans, she offers her uniquely exhaustive insights on the music and the man.
The interview covers topics such as Wayne’s revolutionary role in Brazilian jazz as well as the way his mother didn’t want him distracted from his creativity in any way – not even to take out the trash. Of course, the article goes into the Miles Davis years as well as his current quartet project.
The new JodyJazz DV HR Tenor uses the patented DV secondary window to add mid and low harmonics, resulting in a more authoritative tone than normal tenor sax mouthpieces provide. And the long straight somewhat high baffle gives the mouthpiece it’s fantastic projection and cutting power along with excellent altissimo.
