Wayne Shorter's Juju reveals the depths of modal jazz.
As the mysterious title suggests, this work fuses African spirituality with jazz improvisation. The melodies spun by Shorter's tenor saxophone create a simple yet deeply meditative world. The groove born from a close dialogue with the rhythm section opened up new possibilities for modern jazz.
