We are deeply saddened to announce that visionary saxophonist & composer #WayneShorter passed away this morning at age 89.

“Maestro Wayne Shorter was our hero, guru, and beautiful friend,” said Blue Note President Don Was. “His music possessed a spirit that came from somewhere way, way beyond and made this world a much better place. Likewise, his warmth and wisdom enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. Thankfully, the work he left behind will stay with us forever. Our hearts go out to Carolina and all who loved him.”

Born August 25, 1933 in Newark, New Jersey, Shorter has left an indelible mark on the development of music for more than 60 years from his rise to prominence as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in 1959, his magnificent 1960s Blue Note albums, his transcendent work with Miles Davis, his far-reaching explorations with Weather Report, and the music made by his sublime quartet with Danilo Perez, John Patitucci & Brian Blade since 2001 including his recent Blue Note albums "Without a Net" & "EMANON."
