A masterpiece recorded in the 1960s reissued on heavy vinyl for the modern era
This work, recorded in 1964 and released by Blue Note in 1966, has been reissued on 180g heavyweight vinyl. The sound combines dreamy melodies with constructive modal jazz, and Wayne Shorter's individuality as a composer and performer is clearly evident.
Recorded in 1964 and released on Blue Note, this is Shorter's masterpiece, fusing modal jazz with dreamlike compositions. The heavyweight reissue brings out the meticulous soundscape even more clearly. From the opening track, "Witch Hunt," a dense architectural beauty unfolds, while tracks like "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum" and "Infant Eyes" resonate with poetic ambiguity. Featuring a stellar lineup including Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Elvin Jones, each musician weaves their way through the space with their solos and ensemble. More than half a century after its recording, this album embodies the essence of timeless modern jazz, resonating sharply with today's ears.
