   Encore
6. [8:51 PM] (unidentified tune #5; same encore as last night?) †
   [show ends 8:57 PM; lights up, drat!]

• Terri Lyne Carrington: drums;
• John Patitucci: contrabass;
• Danilo Pérez: piano;
• Wayne Shorter: $ soprano saxophone, † tenor saxophone.

Slightly shorter set than last night; better off stopping when the inspiration runs short? Also seemed to me as if the overall mood was dreamier and more ethereal tonight. Not so many hard-driving wailing sections or groove-heavy jams. I'm pretty sure that the encore tonight was a repeat. Maybe SFJAZZ will post some info and help out on that count!
