Julian Joseph pays tribute to one of the most influential musicians in jazz, master saxophonist and improviser Wayne Shorter, who has died at the age of 89.

Playing landmark recordings and rarities, Julian charts Wayne Shorter’s phenomenal career – from his days with Art Blakey and Miles Davis to his work with Weather Report and beyond. Elsewhere we hear moving tributes from saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings and bassist John Patitucci, one of Wayne's closest friends and collaborators. We’ll also hear extracts from an interview Julian recorded with Wayne in 2004, a window into his open, warm and playful character, something that always came through in his music.
