ONE BY ONE: A Wayne Shorter Celebration
American music legend Wayne Shorter would have turned 92 in August. Saxophonist Chad Eby brings a collection of NC’s finest jazz performers to Sharp Nine Gallery for his 3nd Annual Wayne Shorter Birthday Celebration! They will explore a cross section of Shorter’s most compelling compositions dating from the 1950s through the 2000s.
Chad Eby has earned widespread critical acclaim as “a consummate improviser” (Jazz Times), “has tremendous poise and natural melodic sense” (Ottawa Sun), and his ”tone is boundless, blues-inflected, and wholly satisfying” (AllAboutJazz.com). He is Associate Professor in the Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program at UNCG, and is a Conn-Selmer and D'Addario Woodwinds Performing Artist.
