Part 2. Saxophonist Wayne Shorter, b. 1933, Newark, NJ., d. 2023, Los Angeles, CA,  was one of jazz’s greatest composers.  And in the several periods of his recording career he contributed many and wide-ranging compositions to the various groups of which he was a part. Between 1971 and 1986 he co-led Weather Report, a group he co-founded with keyboardist Joe Zawinul and bassist Miroslav Vitous. On Weather Wayne, Part 2 we’ll hear Wayne playing his own compositions for Weather Report, with Joe Zawinul, and on several tracks the extraordinary electric bassist, Jaco Pastorius. From the Weather Report albums released between 1976 and 1985 — “Black Market”, “Heavy Weather”, “Mr. Gone”, “8:30”, “Night Passage”, “Weather Report”, “Procession”, “Domino Theory” and “Sportin’ Life"
