My all-time music hero Wayne Shorter will be 80 years young this year and in this awesome +NPR interview, he explains, in his uber-Zen-like manner, the nuts and bolts of obtaining brilliance.
"The word Jazz means I dare you."
I'm hanging on his every word just like I've hung on every note he's played during my lifetime and beyond.
Thank you Wayne.

Thanks for sharing that!
One of my guitar students would come in and we would just play guitar together for an hour. Different guitars, weird tunings. Not thinking or analyzing what we were doing. But we'd listen to each other and my memory of it was that is was quite magical and often dark. I could never plan and write this out ahead of time.

Loved him in Weather Report!
His composition Footprints is one of my favorite tunes to play.
