The legendary Wayne Shorter made his stunning debut as a leader with Introducing Wayne Shorter, originally recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City in November 1959 and released on Vee Jay Records in 1960. This remarkable session captures the young tenor saxophonist at the beginning of what would become one of jazz's most influential careers, backed by an all-star rhythm section featuring trumpet legend Lee Morgan, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb.
This essential jazz recording showcases five original Shorter compositions alongside a memorable take on "Mack The Knife," demonstrating the compositional genius that would later make him a cornerstone of Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet and co-founder of Weather Report. Released as part of the prestigious Original Jazz Classics series, this 180-gram vinyl reissue preserves the warmth and clarity of Shorter's innovative approach to modern jazz, making it an indispensable addition for serious collectors and newcomers alike.
