Jazz Record Art Collective presents Chris Madsen Plus 14, w/Orchestra conducted by Joe Clark, perform Wayne Shorter’s 1995 release HIGH LIFE

Thursday, August 24th at Fulton Street Collective.

The night will also feature live painting from TBA

“Wayne Shorter’s debut for Verve was his first release as a leader in quite a long time and his most rewarding recording since the prime years of Weather Report…Shorter and keyboardist Rachel Z spent a year working on developing and orchestrating his ideas and the results are these nine originals…The pieces set moods rather than state singable melodies, are not afraid to utilize electronic rhythms now and then in an unpredictable fashion, and are both intelligent and largely danceable…It helps for listeners to have a liking for the sound of Weather Report (even though this group is not a copy), but even Shorter’s older fans will find his playing here to be quite stimulating.”
