RE: Shorter compositions the best ever??

Yes, Shorter's tunes speak to me on a level beyond Duke or Monk, especially the ballads. There was a reason Blakey and then Miles hired Shorter, used him as a sort of arranger and adopted his compositions as a major part of their repertoire. Shorter had a knack for harmonic resolution and melodic direction that led to some of the greatest music I've ever heard. With a solid six decades of leadership in jazz, Shorter can be revered in the same manner as Monk, Duke or any other jazz legend you can name.
