Wayne Shorter had already set a high bar over the course of his first several Blue Note albums, which included all-time jazz classics including Night Dreamer, JuJu, and Speak No Evil, but 1966's Adam's Apple featuring Herbie Hancock on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums immediately joined the ranks of the saxophonist's greatest recordings and remains a pinnacle artistic statement of Blue Note's fertile post-bop era. Shorter composed five of the session's six tracks including the grooving title track, which surely had producer Alfred Lion dancing around Rudy Van Gelder's studio., Blue Note Classic Vinyl Reissue Series All-Analog 180g Vinyl LP Mastered by Kevin Gray Directly from the Original Master Tapes and Manufactured at Optimal in Germany Blue Note Records has announced the continuation of the Classic Vinyl Reissue Series which presents 180g vinyl LP reissues in standard packaging mastered by Kevin Gray and manufactured at Optimal. The pressings are all-analog whenever an analog source is available, with Gray mastering directly from the original master tapes. While the first 16 titles of the series focused on the best-known Blue Note classics from the 1950s and 60s, the new run of titles curated by Don Was and Cem Kurosman broadens its scope to span the many eras and styles of the legendary label's eight-decade history presented by themes: Bebop, Hard Bop, Soul Jazz, Post-Bop, Avant-Garde, The 70s, The Rebirth, and Hidden Gems.

Other highlights of this sublime set include Jimmy Rowles' arresting "502 Blues (Drinkin' And Drivin')," Shorter's bossa-inflected "El Gaucho," the tender ballad "Teru," and the first recording of his timeless composition "Footprints," which Shorter would record again later that year with the Miles Davis Quintet for the album Miles Smiles. The album closes with the evocative composition "Chief Crazy Horse" featuring Shorter's trademark harmonic twists and a churning solo spotlight by Chambers. MUSICIANS:- Wayne Shorter, tenor saxophone

Das Album zeigt Shorters innovativen Ansatz beim Komponieren und Improvisieren und verbindet Hard Bop mit modalen Jazzelementen zu einem einzigartigen Hörerlebnis. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Titel "Footprints", der sich seitdem zu einem modernen Jazzstandard entwickelt hat und von zahlreichen Künstlern interpretiert wurde. Mit Herbie Hancock am Klavier sowie Reggie Workman am Bass und Joe Chambers am Schlagzeug liefert das Quartett eine inspirierte Performance voller technischer Brillanz und emotionaler Tiefe ab. Wayne Shorter gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Jazzmusiker seiner Generation ? bekannt durch seine Arbeit mit Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers sowie dem zweiten großen Quintett von Miles Davis; zudem war er Mitbegründer der stilprägenden Fusion-Band Weather Report. Im Laufe seiner über sechzigjährigen Karriere erhielt er zahlreiche Grammys und wird für seinen Innovationsgeist im Jazz gefeiert.
Das Label Blue Note zählt zu den angesehensten Plattenfirmen der Jazzgeschichte überhaupt: Gegründet 1939 von Alfred Lion und Max Margulis in New York City steht es bis heute für hochwertige Aufnahmen großer Namen wie Thelonious Monk oder John Coltrane ? stets verbunden mit künstlerischer Freiheit sowie ikonischem Coverdesign bleibt Blue Note ein Leuchtturm musikalischer Innovation. |
