Wayne Shorter: Footprints: The Life and Music of Wayne Shorter
by Riel Lazarus
Want a challenge? Try cramming nearly fifty years of music into a two-CD set. And if that isn't hard enough, try having it make the slightest lick of sense.

by John Kelman

He'd also released four records for the Vee-Jay ...
Scott Henderson: Live!
by John Kelman
While guitarist Scott Henderson has been mining post-Weather Report fusion territory for years with Tribal Tech, he has also been exploring a more blues-based direction with recordings including Dog Party, Tore Down House and, most notably, '02's stripped-down Well to the Bone, one of the most potent examples of the power trio to be released in ...
