WALLACE RONEY ORCHESTRA PLAYS THE LOST MUSIC OF WAYNE SHORTER written for Miles Davis
"To Miles, From Wayne": Universe feat. the Wallace Roney Orchestra
Wayne Shorter is one of the most important composers in the history of jazz. Yet two of his largest works, Legend (1967) and Universe (1968-69), are unknown to the world.
Originally conceived and composed for then band-mate Miles Davis, Mr. Shorter created these two large ensemble pieces of amazing scope and breadth. But they were never performed or recorded.
Nearly 45 years later, Wayne has bestowed these works unto Miles Davis protege, Wallace Roney. As a celebration of Mr. Shorter's 80th Birthday, Wallace and his Orchestra will bring these grand compositions to life.
