WAYNE SHORTER

With Fredie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Elvin Jones

Speak No Evil

Review from allmusic.com profile:

On his third date for Blue Note within a year, Wayne Shorter changed the bands that played on both Night Dreamer and Juju and came up with not only another winner, but also managed to give critics and jazz fans a different look at him as a saxophonist. Because of his previous associations with McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Reggie Workman on those recordings, Shorter had been unfairly branded with the "just-another-Coltrane-disciple" tag, despite his highly original and unusual compositions. Here, with only Jones remaining and his bandmates from the Miles Davis Quintet, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter on board (with Freddie Hubbard filling out the horn section), Shorter at last came into his own and caused a major reappraisal of his earlier work. The odd harmonic frameworks used to erect "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum," with its balladic structure augmented with a bluesy regimen of hard bop and open-toned modalism, create the illusion of a much larger band managing all that timbral space. Likewise on the title track, with its post-bop-oriented melodic line strewn across a wide chromatic palette of minors and Hancock's piano pushing through a contrapuntal set of semi-quavers, the avant-garde meets the hard bop of the '50s head on and everybody wins. The loping lyric of the horns and Hancock's vamping in the middle section during Shorter's solo reveals a broad sense of humor in the saxophonist's linguistics and a deep, more regimented sense of time and thematic coloration. The set ends with the beautiful "Wild Flower," a lilting ballad with angular accents by Hancock who takes the lyric and inverts it, finding a chromatic counterpoint that segues into the front line instead of playing in opposition. The swing is gentle but pronounced and full of Shorter's singular lyricism as a saxophonist as well as a composer.

RECORD GRADE DESCRIPTION

PLEASE READ

We are not professional record graders nor do we claim to be.  Please keep in mind that record grading is very subjective, in other words what might be a VG+ to me might be EX to you. If you feel that we have made a gross mistake in the judgment and grading of a record please contact us prior to leaving any feedback. Thank you.

WE GRADE CONSERVATIVELY

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED

MINT Brand new unplayed. Most likely sealed in original shrink wrap. Dead stock. It is very rare that a record will be Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) Not brand new, but pretty damn close.  Possible that it may not have ever been played. Shiny luster, no writing, marks, scuffs, scratches on disk.  Superb sound quality.

NEAR MINT Minus (NM-) Similar to above NM but may contain a couple insignificant defects like a paper sleeve scuff or bumped corner. Any defects must be very insignificant. Has been played but very well taken care of.

VERY GOOD Plus (VG+) Awesome quality, great sound.  shiny record, very clean. May sometimes  contain writing or markings on the record, but not always. Hairline scuffs may be present but not likely. 

VERY GOOD (VG) Record might be a VG+ with an exception of a few scratches.  It might also be dirty and need a bit of cleaning, definitely has been played over 50 times or more.  Will most likely contain writing on the record, and subtle scratches.  Most scratches will be superficial and not noticeable with a fingernail.  Will sound very authentic with lowered volume, slight hissing, pops and occasional clicks.  Record will definitely play through, but will need some cleaning.

VERY GOOD Minus (VG-) Similar to above but will have at least 1 or 2 significant defects. A scratch, heavy scuffing or heavy noise. But will still play through.

GOOD (G+/-) Not a good record to play.  This is a “hit or miss” record, it might or might not play all the way thru with skipping, sometimes depends on the needle arm setting. Dirty, lots of scratches, over played, written on and often contain whitening of the grooves.  Poor sound quality with hissing, popping, clicking and lowered volume.  Record may be rare or scarce enough to just add to a collection, but generally nothing to be proud of.  Very original.

**Extra “+” (plus) or “-“(minus) will denote the strength/weakness of the quality.  For example: “VG++” might be really close to a EX grade but just not quit because of subtle imperfections. **
