Vibes master, Gary Burton, joins the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra to pay tribute to another of jazz’s true greats, saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter, a creative force with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, crucial member of Miles Davis’s quintet, co-leader of fusion masters Weather Report, and enduring inspiration to a world-wide audience. Featuring Shorter jewels including Nefertiti, ESP and Virgo Rising with specially commissioned arrangements by Mike Gibbs, Joe Locke, Issie Barratt, Florian Ross, Manu Pekar, Michael Abene, Pino Iodice, Christian Jacob, Fred Sturm and Geoffrey Keezer, Burton and SNJO present music of extraordinary subtlety, passion and melodic character played by a first rate orchestra of collective skill and solo firepower.
