This 2005 release captures Shorter in a late-career mode, revisiting and re-recording material from his earlier, seminal period with his 1960s Blue Note quartet.
- The album was recorded in 2004, over 40 years after the original compositions were first laid down.
- It features a quartet of Danilo Perez (piano), John Patitucci (bass), and Brian Blade (drums), a unit Shorter would work with extensively in the following years.
- The repertoire consists entirely of compositions originally recorded between 1964 and 1966 for the albums "JuJu," "Speak No Evil," and "Adam's Apple."
Wayne Shorter is a GRAMMY-winning saxophonist and composer from Newark, New Jersey, widely regarded as one of the most important figures in modern jazz. "Night Dreamer" arrived at a moment of prolific output for Shorter on Blue Note, following a string of influential albums that defined the label's sound in the 1960s.
