And then there is “Footprints”, a minor blues he recorded here first. The Miles Davis Quintet, with Shorter and Hancock in it, cut its own version for \u003cem\u003eMiles Smiles\u003c\/em\u003e that October and turned it into a standard. Jimmy Rowles’ “502 Blues” is the one tune he didn’t write.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShorter had joined Miles Davis in September 1964 and his tunes were already central to that band, yet his Blue Note run kept coming: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wayne-shorter-night-dreamer-2023-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series-180g-vinyl-lp\"\u003eNight Dreamer\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJuJu\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSpeak No Evil\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe All Seeing Eye\u003c\/em\u003e and this record all come from roughly two years. Mark Gardner, reviewing it in Jazz Journal, called it “a tour de force for Shorter the soloist as distinct from Shorter the composer”, which is the right way in. The tunes are strong, but it’s the tenor you remember, and Hancock, Workman and Chambers give him plenty of room. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series edition was mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original analogue tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal Media in Germany. Reid Miles designed the cover around a Francis Wolff photograph, and Don Heckman’s original liner notes come with it.
