has gloss | eng: Atlantis is the sixteenth album by Wayne Shorter. It was released on the Columbia label in 1985 and was Shorters first solo album since 1974. The recording is notable in Shorters body of work both for its relative lack of improvisation and for the high level of its compositions and group arrangements. Rock (backbeat) and latin rhythms are featured on several tracks, as is mixed electric and acoustic instrumentation. The composition "Shere Khan, the Tiger" was previously recorded by a group including Shorter and Carlos Santana on the latters 1980 album The Swing of Delight. Several of the compositions on this album would continue to feature in Shorters repertoire well into 2008, most notably the title piece. The cover art for the album is a pastel portrait of Shorter by actor Billy Dee Williams. |
