An album of incredible beauty -- and one of the key early sides that Shorter cut for Blue Note! It's nearly impossible to describe the genius of these records without playing them -- and upon playing, all words disappear in the brilliance of Shorter's incredible tone, solo imagination, and writing! There's a nascent soulfulness here that would emerge quite strongly across the field of jazz in the late 60s and early 70s -- bubbling forth here on the session, with a sound that we could only call Shorter-archetypal -- and return to again and again over the years, as proof that few players ever measured up as greatly at such a young age! The group's a quintet with Herbie Hancock on piano, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Ron Carter on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums -- and the set list includes "Speak No Evil", "Infant Eyes", "Witch Hunt", and "Wild Flower".
