Maestro Mr Wayne Shorter a true living treasure ! His art has touched the universe!

RIP, Wayne. I loved going to see your Quartet, and so many hours to come listening to you.

Don, the fact you let Wayne speak - you mostly listening - demonstrates you're a wise man

Good interview! They thousands came out to see Jazz Messengers and a couple hundred came out to see dignitaries such as famous American actors and politicians! Don Was is cool and knows what's happening!

‘Speak No Evil’-first Wayne Shorter album I bought (vinyl) somewhere in the early late 60’s/early 70’s…💕 A Master!

Mr. Was please never stop your mission of putting out the Blue Note treasures on HIGH QUALITY vinyl records. THAT is the treatment the legendary artists deserve isnt it?

Thanks Maestro for all these years.

Thank you for this wonderful interview. Poignant, on this day.

This is PURE GOLD. We have mad respect for both of these two gentlemen. Great interview! Thank you Don and thanks for what you’re doing at Blue Note.🙏🏻🎧🎷🎹 🥁

this was awesome. thanks Don. Love Wayne. forever hip.gettin' mine now.

Yes!!! Thank you!!! 1Nation4Life

Wayne Shorter belongs in the Mount Olympus of jazz! First time I heard him was when Miles' ESP was originally released. I hadn't been into jazz very long at that point but I recognized immediately that he was on an elevated plane of musicianship and artistry. My engagement with his music grew from that first listen to where I've been transported by his originality for all the years since. Like Monk, he's a one-of-a-kind improvisor and one of the greatest composers in the history of the music. Wonderful to see him again.

Oh Wow! Would have listened for hours if it was longer. Wayne Shorter - Get on one knee when you say his name… Listened to his music, seen him live, studied and played some of his pieces on sax. Words can’t describe how inspirational and high he is regarded. Jazz Royalty 🙏🏾

Oh my goodness -- Wayne Shorter! I have loved you and your artistry since the beginning! The Messengers! Weather Report! And your solo career! It has been wonderful listening to your music all these years and I will always treasure the two times I saw you perform live in both New York and Philly.

WS is arguably the most important and innovative Jazz composer of the past 60 years. Not only that but he's also a great and original improviser.

Another of the true legends of jazz still with us. Wayne's contributions both credited and uncredited helped author the Golden Age of Jazz, as well as the indelible legacy of Blue Note Records. Here's to continued good health, and mental acuity for great memories to share, of an era long since gone by. Blessings and honor my brother. You have earned them all!

Thanks Don for this interview! The music is so alive and it makes me feel like I was right there as it happened! Long Live Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers!!!

@drum clown Just Listen to Anything on Blue Note from the Mid Fifties on in to The Sixties. Read the Liner Notes to see who's playing with who and what you like - Then Riverside Records; Prestige; Pacific Jazz - and Before long you'll have a couple of thousand records Lol....Seriously though, "Cantaloupe Island"; "Moanin"; and "Birth of the Cool" are pretty Accessible records....

As a fellow Newarker and Arts High alum, this brings tears to my eyes 🥲🥲🥲 Love Wayne and how much he loved being a Messenger🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wayne was one of the first jazz voices that really spoke to me. Much gratitude to see the great man reminiscing...

We still have Herbie to keep us reminded with the great personal stories.

What a treat!

Thank you Don Was for this! Mr Shorter, thank you for the fantastic music throughout the years♥️🎷 My favorite sax player and Blue Note artist.

Man, I've been listening to Shorter since the mid-70s. Blakey, too. Awesome stuff!

Love,love,love to Wayne. Gracious thank you for giving us all your free mind and music.

This man is something else...

Wayne Shorter!!!!! Thank you Don!!!!

Wow! Thanks for this! Yes, indeed! The Maetro Mr. Wayne Shorter! I'm gonna listen his rendition of *"The Peacocks,"* from the *"'Round Midnight"* motion picture soundtrack. For those of you who've never heard of it before, your welcome!!!!! You'll *NEVER* forget it!

Oh wow so glad to see him looking so well and that he has gained back a little weight!

Presente' Wayne Shorter! Assante Sana for the music!

Looking amazing. Both Mr. Shorter and Mr. Was. Thank you for a terrific interview.

THE WAYNE SHORTER.....THE LEGEND

Wayn's story certainly enlivens the wonderful performance!

Special indeed! Anytime Wayne talks or plays, I listen.

Always enjoy listening to maestro Wayne!

good luck to you master. you have given us so much. a jazz legend.

Thank you Wayne!🐐

Saw Art play in the village nyc.. Great interview.. I played in Japan as well and folks were very receptive to jazz..but I believe Gene Krupa was one of the first American jazz musicians to visit Japan post ww2 .which is in itself incredible bc Japan was closed off to foreigners for many years

I loved hearing Wayne's insight into this show and the circumstances around them being there. That was a great interview Don and I am loving my CD''s of this show as they arrived last week.

A wonderful composer and performer - amazing career with albums released in 8! different decades!!

The legend! Fantastic to see Wayne.

Thank you for giving us some of the history behind these live concerts in Japan!

Had no idea Don was now running Blue Note.

Great video Thank you so much

Great interview Awesome job

Thanks for this excellent video. I love this release. Is there any chance Blue Note can release the documentary video footage from that visit that hasn’t been released? That would be a great companion.

MR GONE and MR WAS 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️

He's a great fellow Newarker.

The Incredible historical music event. Was there the endorsement of Japan musical instruments?

Kid Rock in the house

Gee! They found them! And the head of Bluenote is doing a lot of talking to sell them.
