Emanon (“no name” spelled backwards) features original music performed by Shorter’s contemporary quintet (Danilo Perez, John Patitucci and Brian Blade) and the 34-piece Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.

Emanon is also accompanied by a graphic novel, co-written by Shorter and Monica Sly, with illustrations by Randy DuBurke.

One of jazz music’s living legends, Shorter played alongside Art Blakey and Miles Davis in the 1960s, cutting a number of seminal records for himself, like Nightdreamer and Speak No Evil. In the ’70s, Shorter was influential in the development of jazz fusion, forming Weather Report with Joe Zawinul. Emanon follows Shorter’s 2013 LP Without A Net, which was also released by Blue Note.
