Negative Positive
Title: Not a total loss
Review: Wayne Shorter, like a lot of great talents, seeks their own voice. All the great ones have done that, this is simply one that reaches out for something new. This DVD has great video, great sound, here is the but, all this faux piano and bass give the music a synthesized sound. The free jazz movement has no continuity, no form. If you enjoy that, this is for you. However, the last two concerts are a save. The 91 concert brings the accoustical back. the second has Herbie Hancock playing some guitar like electronic thingy that sounds electronic. Again, if this is your bag, great!. The last two tracks from 92 bring Ron Carter on bass, Tony Williams on drums, and a great trumpeter, (no name on box), with Herbie on, a real piano. These last two are great for those of us that like that straight ahead sound, but still avant garde. Not a terrible DVD, just not one that I will reach for very much.
