Concert
Wayne Shorter Tribute Night

“For me, the word 'jazz' means, 'I dare you'.”

Wayne Shorter was a musical genius who rose to fame when he joined Miles Davis’ iconic quintet in a music career that began in the mid-1950s. His groundbreaking work with the band Weather Report paved the way for an innovative style in the jazz scene. He received several prestigious prizes including 12 Grammy Awards, the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award, and the NEA Jazz Masters Awards. In memory of this legendary saxophonist and composer who passed away on March 2, 2023 at the age of 89, there will be a special performance at the 33rd Akbank Jazz Festival. The Wayne Shorter Tribute Band, a quartet composed of Engin Recepoğulları, Can Çankaya, Alper Yılmaz, and Ediz Hafızoğlu, will be on stage that night to commemorate Wayne Shorter’s legacy with a concise repertoire of his greatest albums. Playing songs off his classical recordings like Speak No Evil, Juju, and Night Dreamer, the band will be performing at Akbank Sanat on October 3.
