4.5 superbNietzschesMoustache | January 31st 22

Post-Bop, Modal Jazz, Hard Bop // 1966 // Best: "Infant Eyes"

Bump

5.0 classicOnirium | January 26th 21

There is beauty in ambiguity: to write tunes such as these, where there is enough room for both melody and experimentation, is remarkable. Abundant chromaticism and tonal/modal ambiguity go almost unnoticed. There is delicacy, sorrow, and uncertainty here, sometimes all at once. The music flows like the late-night confession of a person who takes their time to go into as many digressions as they want without ever losing focus.

Bump

3.0 goodGamamJ | August 5th 20

Clearly not as big into this as most people. I think a reason might be it is still very early jazz days, so the music is not that refined yet, but especially Shorter?s musical focus. He goes less into instrumental flashiness, and focuses more on conposition.

Bump

4.5 superbZIG | October 11th 19

By far Shorter's finest record.

Bump

0.0 RYMsfullofscenesters | October 24th 13

Transcends the standard Blue Note "blowing session" vibe by virtue of each player being on the same dreamlike, mystical wavelength
