..."By the late 1970s, Shorter had left the Second Great Quintet and joined Hubbard and Hancock in forming VSOP. The group recorded the 1994 Grammy-winning album A Tribute to Miles, following Davis' death. In 1997, he also played with the Rolling Stones on their album Bridges to Babylon.
Wayne Shorter was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1933, and initially played the clarinet at age 15. Soon after he moved on to tenor and soprano on saxophone and studied music at university before spending two years in the US Army.
Among the dozen Grammy awards he won, Shorter received a Lifetime Achievement award in 2015."
