Blue Note, 1979
Wayne Shorters formidable and prolific output in 1964 produced his first three Blue Note albums as a leader each of which would become instant classics upon their release: Night Dreamer, Juju, and Speak No Evil. That fact may explain why, as the saxophonist continued to churn out Blue Note sessions at a remarkably high level in 1965, the labels release schedule couldnt keep pace with Shorters creative burst, which resulted in his next two recordingsThe Soothsayer and Etceterabeing shelved and not released until 1979 and 1980, respectively. It was just two months after recording Speak No Evil that Shorter was back in Van Gelder Studio to record The Soothsayer with a sextet featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, alto saxophonist James Spaulding, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams. The album captured deeply engaged performances of five beguiling Shorter compositions including Lost, Angola, and the stunning ballad Lady Day, a tribute to Billie Holiday. The album concludes with Shorters arrangement of Valse Triste by the Finnish classical composer Jean Sibelius.
