Saxophone legend and NEA jazz master Wayne Shorter celebrates his 75th birthday year with a repertoire of classic Shorter music plus the New York premiere of his work for classical ensemble, "Terra Incognita," performed by Imani Winds. Shorter was commissioned by the La Jolla Music Society in 2006 to compose this piece for Imani Winds, further solidifying his place as one of the most important composers of the 20th century and beyond. Shorter's ground-breaking quartet features pianist Danilo Perez along with one of the finest and most exciting rhythm sections in jazz - bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade. In addition to a quartet set, the two ensembles will collaborate on new arrangements from the vast Shorter songbook for this celebration.
