Shorter Ideas


Shorter Ideas is an album by saxophonist Ricky Ford featuring four compositions by Wayne Shorter which was recorded in 1984 and released on the Muse label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Ford takes the lion's share of the solo space and is clearly up to the task, making these sometimes complex compositions seem accessible and logical. Ford has long been underrated, but based on the evidence of this recording alone he clearly deserves much greater acclaim".
