Since 2008 the NYU Wayne Shorter Ensemble has explored the compositions of one of NYU's most illustrious alumnis, the great saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter (class of '56). Each year this group plays different works of his, and to date has performed over 120 of Wayne's compositions. These include pieces from the earliest parts of his career (Vee-Jay sessions, Art Blakey, Blue Note sessions), through his work with Miles Davis and Weather Report, up to his latest bands and projects on the Columbia and Verve labels.
