Alegría is a studio album by saxophonist Wayne Shorter, released on Verve Records in 2003. It is the second album to feature the 'Footprints Quartet' of Shorter, pianist Danilo Pérez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade. The piece "Orbits" is a complete and quasi-orchestral re-imagining of the song of the same name, originally recorded by the Second Miles Davis Quintet and released on the album Miles Smiles in 1967. "Capricorn 2" revisits another Shorter composition first recorded by Davis in 1967, while "Angola" dates from Shorter's own 1965 album, The Soothsayer.
