The standard three-CD set includes four studio tracks performed by Shorters quartet (pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade) and the expansive, 34-piece Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, in addition to a 6 track live album featuring the quartet itself. Venture into the deluxe boxset and all of that is accompanied by an expertly crafted box and 4 180-gram vinyl discs. In her introduction, Esperanza Spalding writes: After reading and listening to Emanon, you might begin to notice alternative realities glimmering beneath the everyday world around you. Review: No doubting the music - Yeah, it’s a huge indulgence for 3 CDs but as a project it obviously means a lot to WS, incorporating as it does an orchestral opportunity as well as a comic strip visual one. The latter certainly contributes enormously to the cost of the finished product but it’s clearly a labour of love - and we have to respect the seminal influence comics had on Shorter as a child and teenager; and by extension his life as a musician as well. That said, his playing here is as good as I’ve ever heard - both with the orchestra and with the Footprints band (recorded live at the Barbican, London; year unspecified). And this for me is what carries the day and probably always will. Another chapter in an already priceless legacy. Thank you Wayne!

Thank you Wayne! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice collectable vinyl box *by P***T on 20 September 2019* Great vinyl art ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EMANON - Wayne Shorter: MAGNIFICENT *by J***S on 23 September 2023* When Wayne Shorter passed in March this year (2023) I was genuinely shocked at the lack of Obits in UK newspapers. Actors in daytime soaps get more gracious coverage. The papers that DID notice essayed the usual suspects: "Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers" (check), "Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet" (check), co-founded "Weather Report" (check), 12 Grammy Awards (check), casually observing six decades of MILE STONES like the ink-faded items on last week's shopping list. Damn. What did the man HAVE to do? Should we just box-it-all-up and forget? His ideas are embroidered into the very language of Jazz. Alive; a living nexus to some of the greatest players, albums, compositions in the medium. From March onwards; a footnote? HELL no. But this is an age that reveres Auto-Tune and Kindergarten pop. Some of its 'stars' are still wearing amniotic fluid. Will they be here next week? Tomorrow? Will they change the course of contemporary music? Anyway, rant over. Wayne was also a comic book fan (and he could draw). This three CD album/graphic novel is a way of delivering an uplifting narrative beyond the stave. "EMANON" is set within a sci-fantasy genre that allows Randy DuBurke's gorgeous art to thrive. I suspect the concept (Monica Sly and Mr Shorter) would flow better with a higher page count. Some of the dialogue seems edited-down to fit the space available. Continuity is strained by the juxtaposition of too many locations, though the central idea is coherent and laudable. Musically, we're on far firmer ground. Right from the get-go, we're thrown straight into dissonance. A jarring piano chord slams down followed by a solo sax line that curls awkwardly into shape, slithering over and around that dying chord, dragging us into a ponderous skirl that becomes "Pegasus". Each following track seems to wrangle for its eventual theme, non-too-eager for a moment of lyricism then, as if dissatisfied, moves on once more. When the dominant motifs arrive they're beautiful and haunting. At once; old and new and timeless. Further on, as we reach the 34-piece Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the production soars. Instruments agree. Symmetries align. Harmony rules. Material drawing on a life time of musical influences is formidable - I'm not sure if we need the art. And I'm not sure if I like the live versions of the tracks any better, I can't decide. "EMANON" as a whole? It's overambitious BUT it's transcendent. Too expensive BUT its worth-every-penny. I've listened to it straight, three times. It grows exponentially. I hope Blue Note creates a CD only version, with a far lower price point. It wont be gather dust.
