Performance of For Wayne Shorter by Monica Ohuchi and Kenji Bunch.
@ the Old Church Concert Hall in Portland, OR on September 30 2024.
“I didn’t need to know anything about Wayne Shorter’s music to enjoy For Wayne Shorter by Charles Rose, a fellow music critic at Oregon ArtsWatch. Performed by violist Bunch and pianist Ohuchi, For Wayne Shorter opened gently with a beautiful melodic line. It fluctuated between brief robust phrases and longer ones that flowed tenderly – kind of like the ebb and flow of ocean waves. After a final bit of bold, romantic turbulence, the piece moved back to its thoughtful, almost delicate opening style and closed quietly. “
