Picked up the reissue of Wayne Shorter's "Schizophrenia" yesterday. Such a great album. There was a reissue of of it a few years ago, but I think it was a digital transfer.

The recent Blue Note reissues, IMHO, are really well done.

Perhaps the very best documentary I have ever seen on TV or film. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is a new documentary on , but I will not be seeing it as it is on Amazon. I severed all ties with some time ago. Helping the rich get richer does nothing to curb the extremes of . The Wayne Shorter documentary was produced by Brad Pitt of all people. So, it is not even as though historians were complete in control here. Watching this just helps the rich get richer. I recommend not seeing it. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2 @jazz

Saw part 1. Inspiring for sure. The man was not only a genius musician and composer, a philosopher and futurist as well. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

Wayne Shorter - Adam's Apple

A murderer's row of players here - Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Reginald Workman and Joe Chambers - recordeding a bunch of great Shorter originals by who else but Rudy van Gelder.

What's not to like? (Answer: nothing.)

Another Sunday & I’m by & the Jazz Messengers.

This adds bringing Mingus-eque vibes on the trombone, but, imo, is the star unleashing some killer sax. Plus it has the irrepressible who is worth the price of entry alone.

This is cut by as part of the Classics series which, in a world of spiraling costs, still represents great value.

Long day & in need of a pick me up & so I’m by and the Jazz Messengers.

’ is my favourite Blakey album with this a very close second. The lineup here is peerless, , , , & Blakey just smokes.

Every track is a winner & It’s Only A Paper Moon is one hell of a way to sign off.

This is another cut from the consistently great Classics series.

"Teru" by Wayne Shorter (on Blue Note Records) is wonderful. Teru means "shine" in Japanese. #1967

Listening to 's ambitious suite, Emanon ('No name' backwards). Shorter, a practicing Buddhist, said he was "looking to express eternity in composition." The sense of eternity comes up in other works: Gary Burton & Chick Corea's Crystal Silence (the live version, with orchestra) & some of 's stuff. And especially in . Probably many more.

, and practiced a form of that involves chanting & the power of sound. Hancock writes that when he started Buddhist chanting, "My desire turned to ways to create music to serve humanity, to contribute something empowering and potentially transformative to the world." Hancock & Shorter set standards for improvisation. Turner transcended obstacles & became a musical force of nature.

Tina Turner's memoir looks interesting. In Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good, Turner writes about how she tapped into her Buddhist practice to overcome every obstacle, no matter the scope. In a practice she shares with jazz legends and , Turner describes the concept of human revolution as "a transformation in thoughts, words and deeds in order to become better today than we were yesterday."
