A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts Wayne Shorter, a Black man shown from the waist up playing a saxophone. Facing our right with eyes closed, he wears a dark suit and tie. The saxophone's reflective keys and flared bell glint against a dark background. To our left, the side of a piano is visible, while a microphone stands to our right. Thin white margins border the high-contrast image.
