WAYNE SHORTER (ca. 1975) Set of 2 photos

Np, [ca. 1975]. Pair of vintage original 10 x 8″ (25 x 20 cm.) black-and-white photos, both with holograph notations on verso in the hand of photographer John Bellissimo. Fine.

Two photos of Wayne Shorter performing with Weather Report — a band he co-founded with another former Miles Davis musician, Josef Zawinul.

“Weather Report forged a new direction in instrumental music with an exhilarating hybrid of styles that drew heavily on jazz while also incorporating elements of rock, funk, free-flowing group improvisation, electronic abstraction and pan-global exotica. A perennial poll-winner, the group reached enormous peaks of worldwide popularity while also establishing itself as one of the most vitally creative and influential units to come out of the volatile 1970s.” (Jazzwise)  <https://www.jazzwise.com/features/article/weather-report-the-life-and-times-of-the-group-on-record>
