Blue Note 842979 (B0036692-01) – Tone Poet Series

Between 1964-1967 the legendary saxophonist and composerWayne Shortercreated a treasured and deeply influential body of work within the acoustic jazz tradition with classic albums such asNight Dreamer, JuJu, Speak No Evil, andAdams Applethat presented Shorters brilliant and distinctive original compositions performed by various configurations of modern jazz masters. On 1967sSchizophreniaShorter arrived at the pinnacle of post-bop and gazed out at the horizons around him. A current of the avant-garde already coursed through his music and the next time he would enter the studio for Blue Note would be for his 1969 fusion exploration Super Nova. But in this moment, he produced one of his most complete and stylistically diverse artistic statements with a sextet of like-minded musical adventurers

includingJames Spauldingon alto saxophone and flute,Curtis Fulleron trombone,Herbie Hancockon piano,Ron Carteron bass, andJoe Chamberson drums. The six-song set of original compositions includes several of Shorters most enduring themes including the unforgettable groove of Tom Thumb, the evocative Go, and the beautiful ballad Miyako, as well as Spauldings churning piece Kryptonite.
