Dan Moretti and Brazilia: Live at the Pump House/Celebrating Wayne Shorter
by Jack Bowers
While everyone has ideas, some ideas are admittedly better than others. Saxophonist Dan Moretti and Brazilia's notion to salute the music of Wayne Shorter by reshaping and Latinizing eight of the legendary saxophonist's splendid compositions was a good idea.
