Wayne Shorter passes at 89

Oof. That hurts. He will always be one of my heroes. His Sax playing was super influential to me and my time with my horns...
Fcuk.

Edit:
My meager tribute to Wayne over in another sandbox I play in...

Wayne Shorter... RIP.

Well this is an absolute gut punch. Wayne is one of my all time favorite Sax-men; an absolute giant! His playing was super influential to me as a saxophonist. Fcuk. I need to cry a little...

Yep. I kinda preferred his sound more on tenor than soprano but a great player all round.

Saw him with V.S.O.P. - killer evening. Birdland with Weather Report has always been one of my favorite tunes.
