(FILES) In this file photo taken on July 15, 2011, US musician Wayne Shorter performs at the 51st edition of "Jazz a Juan" a Jazz music festival in Juan-les-Pins, Antibes, southeastern France, in homage to famous Jazz musician Miles Davis. - Shorter, the storied saxophonist considered one of America's greatest jazz composers and among the genre's leading risk-takers, has died. He was 89.
Shorter died at a hospital in Los Angeles, his publicist Alisse Kingsbury told AFP. The enigmatic jazz elder performed with fellow legend Miles Davis and went on to become a leading bandleader on both soprano and tenor sax, including with his group Weather Report. (Photo by SEBASTIEN NOGIER / AFP)
