I love this photo of Wayne and me. We were so excited about starting the documentary. I flew to Paris to shoot his concert with his quartet and the Lyon Orchestra. We spent the day walking through Paris, he shared so many ideas and amazing stories with me. At this table in Paris, he told me about the time when Miles Davis played Happy Birthday to him at the Hollywood Bowl. When Wayne went backstage to see him, Miles put his hands on his shoulders and said " You need to be Exposed".

Well my dear Wayne, your beautiful life will be exposed on August 25th, your 90th birthday on the largest streaming platform in the world. xo Dorsay - Director of Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity Documentary

Last year, in response to this pandemic-related setback, we created the “AIDA INVITATIONAL”.

He is planning a small exhibition at Bezalel on a theme "There Are no Distant Wars".
