A big Happy Birthday to the amazing Wayne Shorter who just turned 87, yesterday. Arguably one of the greatest composers of our time, Wayne has written countless tunes, both as a member in some of the greatest bands in jazz history and as a soloist. Here's one of his wellknown classics, "One By One", in an arrangement by Jörg Achim Keller, featuring Ruud Breuls on trumpet, Raphael Klemm on trombone and Paul Heller on tenor sax. Recorded live in WDR Studio 2 . Conducted by Ansgar Striepens. | WDR
