Wayning Moments - Plus is a 15-song music release by Wayne Shorter. It was released on Jan. 01, 1962.
This is a digital reissue (with bonus alternate takes, hence the "- Plus") of saxophonist Wayne Shorter's debut album as a leader, Wayning Moments, originally recorded in November 1961 and released in 1962 on Vee-Jay Records. A hard bop/post-bop jazz session, it features Shorter on tenor saxophone alongside trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Eddie Higgins, bassist Jymie Merritt, and drummer Marshall Thompson. Recorded at Universal Recording Studios in Chicago, the album includes originals by Shorter, standards, and covers like "Black Orpheus" (an instrumental take on "Manhã de Carnaval"). The expanded edition adds alternate takes from the sessions, making it a comprehensive version of this early milestone in Shorter's career before his work with Art Blakey, Miles Davis, and Weather Report.
