**April is Jazz Appreciation Month, and WBGO is celebrating by showcasing some of
the talent from local programs.**

[[

This installment features the NYU Wayne Shorter Ensemble, which saxophonist Dave
Pietro formed a decade ago. “For me, personally, this is like the perfect gig,” 
Pietro says, “because Wayne went to NYU – he’s a graduate, in 1956 he got a music
ed degree there, I believe – and he’s from Newark.”

The session features a handful of Shorter compositions, beginning with “Toy Tune,”
from the album _Etcetera_, and “Scourn,” from _The Young Lions._

**MUSICIANS: **Dave Pietro, soprano saxophone; Andrew Golub, tenor saxophone; Alejandro
Espinosa, trombone; Guillaume Muller, guitar; Andrew Andron, piano; Gui Duvignau,
bass; Aaron Jennings, drums.
