Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil

Hey everyone...I'm back. Just flew home from Thailand the other day and now I'm back at home where my internet is fast enough to update this blog again. For my first post in a long time, I've decided to upload an album that is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Wayne Shorter is a world renowned sax player and jazz legend. He, like most of the best jazz players, has created a hugely diverse body of work that features some of his most highly respected peers. He is arguably best known for his work with three groups: Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the 50's, one of Miles Davis' quintets in the 60's, and fusion giants Weather Report in the 70's. While he was working with Miles' quintet, he was also busy cutting his own solo album entitled Speak No Evil. The lineup for these sessions featured Shorter on tenor sax, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and Elvin Jones on drums. Together they put together the 50 rock solid minutes of Speak No Evil. It is considered to be one of Shorter's finest albums, and for good reason.
