Song of the Day: Sakeena’s Vision, composed by Wayne Shorter, was first recorded by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers for their 1960 hard bop album, “The Big Beat.” The quintet featured Shorter on tenor saxophone, trumpeter Lee Morgan, pianist Bobby Timmons, bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer Art Blakey. The late Wayne Shorter wrote so many songs that have become jazz standards. He was born on this date in 1933. Check out the original Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers recording [YouTube link].
