In his absence, Hancock spearheaded the tribute shows to raise money for Shorter\u2019s medical expenses, assembling the all-star lineup to perform some of the saxophonist\u2019s most famous compositions. Along with the various special guests, each show featured the members of Shorter\u2019s quartet, pianist Danilo P\u00e9rez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Shorter tribute streams are part of SFJAZZ\u2019s new Fridays <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">at<\/span> Five series, an online membership program launched amid the COVID-19 crisis to raise money for the organization. Fans can join with either a $5-a-month, or $60-a-year membership, while each broadcast also includes a virtual \u201ctip jar,\u201d with the artists and SFJAZZ splitting the money 50\/50. For the Shorter concerts, however, all of the tip jar proceeds will go to Shorter\u2019s medical expenses.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3>Popular on Rolling Stone<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/wayne-shorter-benefit-sf-jazz-herbie-hancock-kamasi-washington-1003523\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SFJAZZ, the Bay Area venue and nonprofit, will livestream four Wayne Shorter tribute concerts from January 2019 to raise money for the saxophonist\u2019s ongoing medical needs.
