Of course, with a pianist of that skill level, and the greatest jazz composer (in my opinion) you can't go wrong.

I know you said that it was your opinion, but you have to admit that it is very questionable, better than say Monk or Ellington!
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.
