As early as 1959, Shorter delivered a string of renowned solo albums, including Speak No Evil, Night Dreamer, and JuJu.
As he started releasing records on his own, he felt more at ease expressing his ideas. With his next band, Weather Report, he experimented with a sound that fused jazz, rock, and Latin.
By incorporating R&B and funk into his sound, Shorter saw platinum sales and a top 30 US chart placement with his 1977 album Heavy Weather. In the same year, he contributed to the Rolling Stones’ Brides to Babylon album as a member of the band.
