Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Neil deGrasse Tyson on StarTalk

Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and photons! This short clip is a teaser for Hancock and Shorters appearance on Neil deGrasse Tyson's NatGeo talk show StarTalk. This particular episode is episode 19 of season 3 and, according to IMBD.com originally aired on January 30, 2017. The segment beings wiht Tyson saying "I tried to get Wayne Shorter to express the sounds of the universe through jazz... through his saxophone." Soon thereafter, we see Tyson, Hancock, and Shorter seeing in what I believe is Shorter's LA home (which he put up for sale in September 2016: www.latimes.com/business/reale..., and are treated with Shorter's jazz saxophone interpretation of photons. The clip ends with comedian Chuck Nice saying "Okay. Now we know why people hate jazz."

    Not everyone has ears, apparently. Chuck didn't hear the movement, especially the part where the photon reaches the surface of the sun and takes off, or its subsequent reflections as reverberation. But I did. Wayne Shorter is a blessing upon this Earth.

    Exactly he put a crescendo at the end just to make it clear that sound or energy was growing and moving through space. Haha on top of it all he stop the energy with his tongue to demonstrate the energy hitting the surface. Haha the amazing thing is he did it twice exactly the same. If you didn’t get it it was because you were focused on the wrong things

    Sound doesn’t travel through space. If Wayne interprets the photon as one note in the sun and poof it’s gone than that’s how it is!

    We are so blessed to have artists and scientists and mathematicians to help us to understand why we exist. It’s no coincidence Wayne knew exactly what Neil meant because essentially they are part of the same whole. science explains the Process? and Art explains the Purpose.

    Wayne Shorter: I have a career in jazz that goes back to the 1950's, I played with Miles Davis, I played with pretty much every important jazz musician and crafted art and culture far beyond anything you could ever imagine. But sure, quarks whatever.

    Except he only played one note, so we don't have context of what key he's playing that note in. It could be Sol, or Do, or Re, or whatever.

    This is the parallel to life as we know it. Wayne, has nothing to prove and within this life, we spend so much time chasing something that is so powerful, real, engaging, and dynamic. Truth is, is that it has always been there with us and it's the most single incredible reality is Existing. It's really that simple. The expression, the thought, the extension is many things including oxygen, free thinking, and Love for starters. We can go on and on with the greatest words, diagrams, stories, and physical symbolic images, though only one thing remains. Now! Now! is a not a simple note, Now! is the Magnetic Universe. We are simply a grain of salt within this Dynamic System as Human Beings. We are not the beginning nor the end, we're just Now! like that beautiful note. Now! is a gift whether we see, hear (here), or feel it. The Photon was here before us and will be after with no regard for our single note or immaculate strand of notes. Thank you Wayne for making this Human Experience for me personally more beautiful in ways beyond comprehension. Same goes to you Herbie and Neil. I feel the Photon and we're not equipped to express what that is any better than what's already been done. Thank you

    To say one hates jazz is to spit in the face of an entire multi-generational culture which has effectively shaped pop culture for decades. Hatred is a cheap luxury. Avoid it.

    It happens a lot, music ignorance presupposes that music is just feeling (probably Mr. DeGrass also expected some dancing). This is the problem with extreme specialization. One just has to think about Pythagoras and his monochord to understand what Mr. Shorter just did there. That was some rollin' philosophy on the spot, it made an otherwise silly request into a profound teaching. Mr. Shorter just behaved like a Zen master, answering with a Koan. And in relation to what I think is a disrespectful easy joke - "That's why no one understands jazz", if at least they knew some popular history, they would understand that jazz music evolved into non-dancing music in the sixties for obvious cultural reasons related to human dignity in the afro-american community. Mr. Shorter is actually one of those musicians from the sixties that contributed to the uplift of jazz to high art status. It's not very nice to make fun of him for being conceptual and/or philosophical, and that's what it seems to happen in this video. This is actually very sad. Ignorance and idiocy could be everywhere, even in people with access to higher knowledge.

    Chuck, I realize you are a comedian, and are just trying to be funny; but I don't think you realize the magnitude of greatness of the man and the idiom you just insulted. Before I saw this clip, I had never heard of you. I have no respect for you.

    I hear you but im pretty sure Chuck is a an intelligent enough guy when he’s not performing with his comedy hat on, but I understand here, he had to crack a joke there because of the open-mouthed bewilderment of the audience. Neil also had to laugh at the joke to put those same people at ease, even though he knew precisely what Wayne Shorter communicated. It’s sad a science show like this needs a hype man but it seems we have regressed in our ability to gain knowledge about our own existence. If Chuck wasn’t there to add a bit of umpf the show would’ve probably have been cancelled a long time ago and we have to be thankful a show like this even existed
