Wayne Shorter (1933–2023), tenor/soprano saxophonist and composer, was jazz’s great storyteller. After directing Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, he reshaped small-group interplay with Miles Davis’s Second Great Quintet, then co-founded Weather Report. Defining works: Speak No Evil, Juju, Adam’s Apple (“Footprints”), Native Dancer. A multi-GRAMMY winner, he penned modern standards like “Nefertiti” and “Infant Eyes.”
