Wayne Shorter, Schizophrenia, 1969 on Blue Note

Eleventh Wayne Shorter album, with Herbie Hancock, Curtis Fuller, Ron Carter, James Spaulding, and Joe Chambers. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, with Francis Wolff producing.

This is transitional between post-bop and free jazz – looser and closer to the edge than my normal taste, but worth a listen for anyone interested in post-bop or Shorter and Hancock.

My copy as part of the Story of Blue Note Records VMP Anthology, 2024 reissue.

OK, thanks so much for revisiting with me, the music of my high school years.

Let's close with a beautiful ballad: "My Funny Valentine," live at the Philharmonic Hall, Feb. 1964, NAACP benefit concert.

Following up on this...the report from Tracking Angle is correct: the long-out-of-print Mosaic version of this is, indeed, significantly better sounding, for whatever reason.

After "Nefertiti" (1968), Miles Davis began to move away from a fully acoustic sound and toward what would be called fusion. Listen to "Tout de Suite," from "Filles de Kilimanjaro" (1968), as they make their way forward:

Miles Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965

Slowly working my way through this huge 10LP set of the Second Great Quintet (Miles Davis/Herbie Hancock/Wayne Shorter/Ron Carter/Tony Williams) push-push-PUSHing towards a new way of playing, namely: if you're bored with what's expected, do the opposite.

It can skirt right up to free playing, but then gets reined in...

From Eric Dolphy's 1961 album, "Out There," here's "17 West." He has such an energetic, fluid voice on the flute.

Miles Davis' second great quintet, on "Nefertiti," their last fully acoustic album. Listen to "Fall" (recorded in 1967).
