Joni a surprise guest at Wayne Shorter tribute

That's funny Gary, I just now finished watching all three episodes.

For me as a huge, long-time Wayne Shorter fan it was a bit underwhelming, as I felt it didn't really get into many details that would have been interesting to me. Plus, it rambled at times, was a bit fanciful in others and the back half of the third segment became repetitive and dull, but for those who aren't familiar with Shorter it's a good documentary, as it does a good job of showing the immense range of work he did over his long career and the huge impact he had.

Almost as soon as I became a fan of Shorter's in the early '80s I found similarities between him & Garcia, something that remained through all the years, and I think fans of Jerry's who watch the doc might notice some of the same things, and hear similarities in the way the various people interviewed speak of him, and with the reverence they speak of him.

I was happy with the emphasis on his late era quartet in the first half of third segment, which in my humble opinion was the greatest jazz group of all time, and while no one overtly says that, it's basically said repeatedly.

And I swear, I absolutely agreed with every word Don Was said in his various moments, like he said EXACTLY what I would have said if anybody had asked me. Good for him.

I sure do miss Wayne Shorter.
