Wayne Shorter

I blew my $30 bucks of HMV vouchers on two Wayne Shorter albums -
'Speak No Evil' from the (I believe) post-messengers-pre-miles period, and 'Beyond the Sound Barrier' with the excellent Footprints Live! quartet.

I've heard more of 'Beyond the Sound Barrier', and it is proving to be highly enjoyable. Modern jazz at its best - challenging yet eminently enjoyable. This album is a good starting place for anyone looking to get into jazz after the 80s (we're all trying to forget about that decade - Dave Weckl's band and Chick Corea's shirts).
