The state of mind reached by a hard bop giant
Wayne Shorter's Juju reveals the depths of modal jazz.
As the mysterious title suggests, this work fuses African spirituality with jazz improvisation. The melodies spun by Shorter's tenor saxophone create a simple yet deeply meditative world. The groove born from a close dialogue with the rhythm section opened up new possibilities for modern jazz.
