Celebrating the life (&) work of Wayne Shorter…
In the past few months I was diving into the spiritual music of Wayne Shorter, selected a handful of my favourite compositions from “the book” and explored them on the guitar. This project resulted in some versions of solo guitar, duets and quartet settings featuring some of my favourite musicians!
...Wayne’s music is part of my life since I was a teenager. Through his music I fell in love with jazz and now, while diving deeper into his work and ideology it teaches me to be more in the moment and accept that “mistakes” are only perceived as such when you don’t see the bigger picture…
In this video i’m looping some second-line guitar percussion and playing over a beautiful song called “This is for Albert” (dedicated to Bud Powell)
Filmed at the Goethe-Institut Niederlande. Thanks to Jeroen Batterink for capturing the sound and for Jelle Weber for making this video.
Ladies and Gentleman, John Swana is (virtually) in the house!
As part of my ongoing research project about the music of master Wayne Shorter I'm happy to share a semi remote collaboration with my brothers Itai Weissman & Jeroen Batterink ft. John Swana on EVI. Playing a take on my arrangement of "The Big Push".
Itai and myself met John during our musical studies while being transfer students in Boyer college in Philadelphia. It was a truly an amazing time; hanging with a great faculty and students.. Happy to now create new memories! Also, if you generally want to know more about wind synth check Itais channels and find out an ocean of brilliant talks and other inspiring stuff.
Another collaboration with my brother in music Itai Weissman featuring the work of Shorter: “Mahjong”
A solo performance of one of my favorite Shorter tunes:
”The big push”
***New Video***
Collaboration with my old musical friend Sanne Huijbregts.
This song is inspired by and dedicated to my young sister Yarden.
