Where almost every other post-Trane sax player for the next 30 years would wrestle with the enormity of his influence, Wayne made finding his own voice seem effortless.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">And that makes all the more remarkable this concert. I had this on CD and must have listened 100+ times. To see it on video after all these years is a gift. To have Wayne and Liebman playing soprano side-by-side is really something, and Jack DeJohnette reminds once again why he&#8217;s one of the greatest drummers of all time. Wayne steps into Coltrane&#8217;s space with total assurance. For someone who never seemed to be copying Trane&#8217;s language, it turns out that he knew every corner of Trane&#8217;s musical universe and was just as comfortable there as in his own space. Beautiful, fiery, fearless and inspirational.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yl_wz325Zcs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/kennethwoods.net\/blog1\/2023\/03\/04\/wayne-shorters-coltrane-tribute\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"box_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among Wayne Shorter&#8217;s many huge musical accomplishments, one can&#8217;t help but be awed by his ability to establish a completely distinct artistic space for himself as a tenor and soprano saxophonist when the shadow of John Coltrane&#8217;s enormous musical personality was so pervasive.
