About this concert
Mr Gone performs "Head Hunters" complete, along with a set of electric music by saxophonist Wayne Shorter focusing on his tenure with Weather Report.
Originally released in late 1973, the 23-24 season is the 50th anniversary of this jazz funk masterpiece, the only jazz album certified platinum. Comprised of 4 full length compositions that sound deceptively simple on the surface, the wealth of musical material gives the ensemble something to really sink their collective teeth into. The show is rounded out with material composed by Wayne Shorter, and focuses on his tenure with Weather Report and other deep cuts from his extensive compositional catalog. Mr Gone is Peter Furlan (sax), Neil 'Nail' Alexander (keyboards), Charlie Dougherty (bass) and Bryan Kopchak (drums). Ticket price and link TBA.
