Day 4
#30 – Wayne Shorter (b.1933). American jazz saxophonist and composer. Co-founded the jazz fusion band Weather Report. Albums include: Speak No Evil 1964, High Life (1995) and with Herbie Hancock, 1+1 (1997).
As a composer he created the blueprint – the starting point for the music – so I started with this colour scheme in mind. While experimenting with images of saxophones, putting the two together suggested an ‘S’ for Shorter – this became the main image. The background fade alludes to a sky and that he was one of the founders of the group ‘Weather Report’.
