Here's a summary of Wayne Shorter & Herbie Hancock's "Open Letter to the Next Generation of Artists." But the whole letter is essential reading. https://t.co/0dhQHhtGxv
Of course, this applies to a lot more than just jazz.
Today at 4am, Wayne Shorter peacefully continued on his immense journey into the unknown. He was surrounded by loving family. In his words, “It’s time to go get a new body and come back to continue the mission.” Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

It has been a deeply sad morning to learn that my brother and fellow explorer of the Inner and Outer Universe @Wayne_Shorter has left town. The Maestro was a visionary, a great composer, and a friend with whom I shared a love for the Eternal Now.
Barche Lamsel
R.I.P. Wayne Shorter, August 25, 1933 - March 2, 2023. Here he is performing his composition “Footprints” in 1967 with Miles Davis on trumpet, Ron Carter on bass, Herbie Hancock on piano and Tony Williams on drums.
RIP Wayne Shorter, the soul of Miles' 2nd great quintet, the greatest group of all groups, who infused the sax w/ every human emotion, a brilliant composer & inventive fusionist transcending genre boundaries, incorporating all strange earthly sounds into his own mystic brew.
Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable . . .
Let's take a break and watch a clip of Damar Hamlin giving his family some love just prior a game.
This is what needs to be seen right now.
Please be okay 🙏
I could say crazy things on her all day long. Maybe even insightful things. But the other things are too jarring for most ppl. Esp my poor poor Mother. So I will refrain
I loved this platform with all my heartt. Now I feel like there's too many words in my brain. Now I understand why ppl dissociate or move to strange places
