| Description: | Limited 180gm vinyl LP mastered by Kevin Gray Directly from the original master tapes. 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.

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. 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

Cet opus met en avant l?approche novatrice de la composition et de l?improvisation propre à Shorter qui mêle habilement hard bop et éléments de jazz modal pour créer une expérience sonore unique et intemporelle ; le morceau "Footprints", devenu depuis un standard moderne repris par d?innombrables musiciens de jazz dans le monde entier y figure notamment en bonne place parmi les titres phares du disque ! Entouré d?Herbie Hancock au piano ainsi que Reggie Workman à la contrebasse et Joe Chambers à la batterie ? tous trois figures majeures du genre ? ce quatuor livre ici une prestation magistrale alliant virtuosité technique et profondeur émotionnelle rare.
Wayne Shorter s?est imposé comme l?un des plus grands noms du jazz grâce à son parcours avec les célèbres formations d?Art Blakey (Jazz Messengers) ou encore le second quintette mythique de Miles Davis ; il fut également cofondateur du groupe pionnier Weather Report qui marqua durablement la scène fusion internationale.
Au fil d?une carrière exceptionnelle couvrant plus de soixante ans ponctuée par plusieurs Grammy Awards prestigieux il demeure salué pour sa capacité constante à repousser les frontières musicales du genre.
Blue Note Records occupe une place incontournable dans l?histoire mondiale du jazz : fondé dès 1939 par Alfred Lion & Max Margulis à New York ce label visionnaire s?est illustré tant par ses pochettes iconiques que son engagement envers la liberté artistique totale offerte aux géants tels que Thelonious Monk ou John Coltrane? Aujourd?hui encore il incarne créativité audacieuse & excellence sonore au sein de cette musique vivante ! |
