This week has been a bad one for music, first Wayne Shorter and now Carlos Garnett, too many greats are leaving us all at once.
But I prefer to look at it as a good week to remember and listen to their music, they left behind an unmistakable and lasting legacy and I hope both of them may now rest peacefully having accomplished so much in this one life.
I remember hearing the opening vocal harmony on Carlos Garnett's soaring debut album 'Black Love' for the first time, how striking it was, one of the earliest albums I owned on record. And what can I possibly say about Wayne Shorter that hasn't already been said in recent days by people far more qualified than me. I've lost count of how many times I've played and performed footprints over the past few years, a song that almost demands to be played completely different every time. I'll leave it at that and let their music do the talking.
Safe travels to Wayne Shorter and Carlos Garnett, they've left their corporeal bodies behind but their music is eternal.
