Sings Wayne Shorter (1993)

Het debuutalbum van de veelzijdige Engelse klarinettiste en zangeres Clare Foster. Met een stevige Nederlandse inbreng door saxofonist Toon Roos en met de productie in de handen van Ab de Jong. Clare Foster zegt zelf over dit album: "For many years I have been a great admirer of Wayne Shorter's compositions. His raw, human sound through the saxophone first drew me to his music. When I listen to his tunes, they speak to me in a very natural way. I wrote some of the lyrics upon my own themes, but others were written with his ideas in mind. If you are looking for sincerity and delight, I hope you will find it in this CD. It was all made possible by a group of very fine musicians from all over Europe, and of course it would never have been possible at all without Wayne Shorter himself." (Bandcamp) Een mooi eerbetoon aan die man op de saxofoon die mede vorm gaf aan de ontwikkeling van de hard en post bop en de fusion in de jazz. (GR Muziekbank)
