I don't know whether it's necessary for it to be Earth-shattering or not, but for me it's a very tasteful, soulful blend of harmonic colours (whole-tone, pentatonic and a few Eastern tonalities and plenty of fourths-based sus-chords) fantastic, memorable themes and compositions and awesome playing. Its atmosphere is fairly unique.

....yes absolutely

One final Wayne Shorter recording from my collection: the Barbican concert of 11 November 2006 - at which I was - taken off of Radio 3 by my good friend in Bristol.

I think I taped the broadcast of the Shorter gig I went to at The Barbican in 2011 - lost it but have no means of playing it now anyway.

Today: Speak No Evil.

I am always reminded of Frances's comment in the Dibb documentary on the look on Miles's face in that photograph.

Have been playing a CD-R of the Wayne Shorter Quartet at the Royal Festival Hall in 2001. It's great and was kindly sent to me with my order for Wayne Shorter's 'Footprints Live' from an Amazon marketplace seller!

Don't think there has been mention of a group, including Terry Lyne Carrington and Marilyn Mazur on drums, which Wayne toured with in 1987::

Today: Etcetera

I am less familiar with this album compared with the previous ones. 'Toy Tune' is on now, features some nice Coltrane-esque changes.
