Description:

Recently, he has been in the spotlight for his work on the soundtracks of such popular films as "Harriet" and "That Night in Iami". The E-Collective consists of Fabian Almazan (p), Charles Altura (g), David Ginyard (b), Oscar Seaton (ds), and David Balakirshnan (ds). The tribute includes original compositions by Blanchard and members of the E-Collective, in addition to Shorter's music, and also includes the Turtle Island Quartet directed by David Balakirshnan (vln). I am proud to have had the opportunity to visit the music that has shaped my musical identity," said Shorter.Combining the music of Wayne Shorter with the original work of the E-Collective and the sound colors of the Turtle Island Quartet was a wonderful experience. Wayne once said, 'Jazz is about daring,' and we decided to be creative and pay homage at the same time," said Blanchard.
