Wayne Shorter – Native Dancer (featuring Milton Nascimento)
A landmark 1975 collaboration that bridges American post-bop with Brazilian lyricism, Native Dancer is one of Wayne Shorter’s most atmospheric and melodic recordings. Featuring the unmistakable voice of Milton Nascimento, the album blends jazz improvisation with samba rhythms, spiritual textures and lush arrangements.
With Herbie Hancock, Airto Moreira, Dave McDaniel and a stellar supporting cast, this release captures Shorter in a deeply expressive, almost cinematic mode. Tracks like Ponta de Areia and Beauty and the Beast have become cult favourites among collectors of 70s fusion and Brazilian crossover jazz.
This is the Columbia PC 33418 pressing.
Genre: Jazz / Jazz-Funk / Brazilian Jazz
