Wayne Shorter Dies at 89
- “It’s time to go get a new body and come back to continue the mission,” jazz great reportedly says
Wayne Shorter, the saxophonist and band leader who most famously played with Miles Davis and Weather Report, has died at 89.
No cause was given in a Facebook post that said Shorter died at 4 a.m. local time March 2.
“Wayne Shorter peacefully continued on his immense journey into the unknown,” the post said. “He was surrounded by loving family. In his words, ‘It’s time to go get a new body and come back to continue the mission.’”
Shorter got his start in the late 1950s in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. The following decade was spent as a key member of the band now known as Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet. The saxophonist would later co-found Weather Report and record more than 20 albums under his own name.

“Goodbye to a giant,” Spyro Gyra said on social media.
Charles Lloyd was a student at USC when he met the man he called “the maestro.” Thus began a lifetime of professional collaboration and personal friendship.
“Wayne elevated the art form of sound as only he could,” Lloyd wrote on social media. “I loved him straight through - he was a deep spirit on a human journey and he blessed the planet, all of the solar systems and beyond.”
Al Di Meola recalled touring with Weather Report in 1978 and said he spent the time after every show talking with Shorter backstage.
“(I) could never tell if Wayne was talking some deep shit or some spaced-out genius stuff,” the guitarist said. “Anyway, he spoke often like he played - in short bursts. One of the God-like giants leaves us. Thanks for the legacy, Wayne.”
Vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater called Shorter “one of the greats,” whose kindness and generosity matched his talent. The jazz world, she said, feels the loss.
“We are in mourning,” Bridgewater said.
As a session player, Shorter would cross over into rock with a jazz bent, playing on recordings by Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell and others.
“He took the horn to places other saxophonists weren’t even imagining it could go,” Vernon Reid said. “Wayne liberated it from the shadows of Bird (Charlie Parker) and Trane (John Coltrane).”
