Odyssey Of Iska

Wayne Shorter

Odyssey of Iska is the fourteenth album by American jazz composer and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, released on Blue Note Records in 1971. Odyssey of Iska was the outcome of the second recording session with Shorter that was produced by Duke Pearson. (The first session, 'Moto Grosso Feio', was not issued until 1974.) With the exception of Ron Carter there was a completely different line-up, although with a similar instrumentation: Shorter's saxophone as the only horn, guitar instead of keyboards, two double bass players, and various percussion instruments including marimba and vibraphone. The same emphasis on percussion is also found on Read more on Last.fm.
