![Wayne Shorter’s new Blue Note Records release explodes the concept of an album. Emanon [COMP DISC 32989] contains 3 CDs—one studio recording of a four-part suite Shorter composed and performed with his Quartet and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and two recordings of The Wayne Shorter Quartet Live in London performing some of the suite along with other compositions—housed inside a binding that also contains a graphic novel of the same name, written by Shorter and Monica Sly, and illustrated by Randy DuBurke. It’s a lot to take in, and it’s ready to be taken out of the library. #wayneshorter #wayneshorterquartet #orpheuschamberorchestra #monicasly #randyduburke #bluenoterecords #emanon #millsmusiclibrary](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/ac03fe2202ed502ca769eca7acbe08e1/5C41AB14/t51.2885-15/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/s150x150/43126957_908859199312269_3403945984619331523_n.jpg)
