Wayne Shorter Night Dreamer Jazz Music CD Review
The super talented Jazz artist Wayne Shorter has released him most recent CD on the Blue Note Records recording label, entitled Night Dreamer .
Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Night Dreamer. |
Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Night Dreamer is a pleasantly varied, mix of 7 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.
Overall Night Dreamer is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Jazz fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.
While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Oriental Folk Song, track 5 - Charcoal Blues, and track 7 - Virgo
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Night Dreamer. This is a great track!
