Made his first marks on tenor, particularly as a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and later with the great mid-late 60s Miles Davis Quintet.  As co-founder of the trailblazing fusion band Weather Report, he became an extraordinary soprano player.  He is also one of the most widely interpreted composers.
