A Kennedy Center Honors recipient and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the Latin-rock pioneer is hitting the road with Earth, Wind & Fire for a joint tour that has been pushed back twice since 2020They were joined by a diverse, multi-generational group of musicians that ranged from saxophonist Kamasi Washington, guitarist Lionel Loueke to bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding and drum dynamos Cindy Blackman Santana and Terri Lyne Carrington.
For many in the audience, the concert’s high point came with a three-song salute to Weather Report, the pioneering fusion jazz band Shorter co-led in the 1970s and 1980s with keyboardist Joe Zawinul, another Miles Davis group veteran. Hancock, the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Creative Chair for Jazz, sparkled and soared on each of his solos. But some of his most arresting playing came in the knotty chords and ingeniously cascading lines he contributed when accompanying the other musicians.The opening selection featured bass and vocals by Spalding, who worked closely with Shorter on his 2021 opera, “Iphigenia,” an update of the ancient Greek myth.
