MAN! I don't know HOW you can possibly say that after hearing this clip!! This band is SHHMMokin'!! Just listen to that riddim section! I think Joy Ryder and Wayne's other albs of this era are rally underrated. I think he kinda breathed new life back into Fusion, when it seemed on its last legs- and the key was Great writing, and bands like this.
Wayne's 1990s stuff is more brilliant than people may think (like Miles' too!). Technology and clothes are trends, and get dated. People seem to be reacting to the period fashion and preoccupation with electronic state-of-the-art. But the point is, there is real genius content in this music. That's why it sounds so good today in the acoustic setting. Part of it is in Wayne's harmonic genius (try playing any part of it, like I did with bass). It is dedicated, timeless music to be appreciated over the ages. Don't let the stuff they are always trying to sell us -- fashion and technology -- obscure the real deal.
+craig b man thats some seriously true shit, youve touched upon something i feel is very understated in terms of how we perceive jazz from this period. bit like how weather report - mr gone seems to get 1 star reviews everywhere, but this musical content is sick. as for the synth sounds that we've become conditioned to associate with early computer games and badly produced adverts from the 90s, we have to put that shit aside and remember those were some groundbreaking sounds at the time. big up :)
Oh Yeah... I Remember Well As A High School Teen The Day I Recorded On V.H.S This Performance(& The Many Countless X's I Rewound It 2 Figure It Out After It Was Over-Even Though I Wasn't Strong Enough Yet On Keyboard.. Etc).Tracy Wormworth On Electric Bass-Terri Lynne Carrington On Drums With Shorter🎼🎼🎼
If you look at his current group, now that's a "real band" cause of few important reasons, one being longevity and a unified purpose. Im not putting this down, but I heard a few of Wayne's 1980's configurations sound exactly like this...they were just reading the parts, but not a real strong identity there. A band breathes together, and makes visions unfold...
at least Wayne was doing his thing, giving these young (at the time) musicians a break as a result. 91 was a different time for acoustic jazz, I don't think it would have been viable to hold a band together like the current one, and keep it on the road, there was then a resurgence of interest in acoustic jazz some time in the mid 90's, at least that's the way it seemed in Europe - maybe different in America - so there was a new audience out there sustaining interest, that's good for 'real bands'
Was it really necessary that the credits at the end show the men's names in capitals and the women's in small case? I'm not certain if it's insulting to women, or 'rhythm sections', or both.
Yes because it was a program hilighting British Jazz musicians (Jason Rebello) featuring with guest musicians (Wayne Shorter) in there band. I remember the program. I have this and other performances on a VCR somewhere. The same thing happened with Branford Marsalis and Julian Joseph and others. Nothing to do with Sexism or favourtism. Waynes Band...In a show regarding Jason who was up and coming at the time and since took Kenny Kirklands place in Stings band.
nah, some of his disco era stuff tops this in the cheesy stakes, and this would fare much better if the keyboardist wasn't using that dodgy string/piano FM patch, or what ever it is.
what is that keyboard sound? Did wayne shorter do anything good on his own? What he's playing is actually good but this bands style is so dated. This is why you don't follow trends.
When they play this tune nowdays its beyond awesome. My favorite song of Wayne Shorter...best, Sandemose

Very true, I just wish Shorter went back and re did all of these synth parts with a real orchestra. Just imagine Wayne shorter and rubato
The album Joy Ryder is fantastic, from which this is from. Saw him doing this stuff at the Blue Note around this time.

@jazzmunky
It is.
all of the backup players are beautiful--I mean ALL of them
They look funny but music is amazing!!!

Sounds like mid 80's Miles Davis --- or Alan Holdsworth's ensemble of that time.
who's the bass player?
She's so smooth.
if I am not mistaken, isn't this Jeff Beck's current keyboardist.. Jason .. uh..something?
Who is the drummer, great style.
Terry Lynne Carrington
peeweee herman on keys
Wow, look at Terri Lyne Carrington!
nice threads and hair!?!
who is the chick drummer?
Anyone idea what the exact keyboard chords are?
That keyboard player is like a mannequin...
I think the only thing that is dated on this performance is in fact the keys...and you know,I'll bet that sound will come around again someday anyway.
Terry Lynn Carrington maybe

I always dug this song, but Wayne never came up with a great band in the 80's. Great musicians, but no collective personality.
