Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil [Indie Exclusive, Blue Vinyl]

A masterpiece of post-bop innovation, Speak No Evil stands as one of Wayne Shorter's greatest achievements and a defining Blue Note session. Recorded in 1964 with an all-star lineup—Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Elvin Jones—the album blends haunting melodies with adventurous harmonic exploration. This Indie Exclusive blue vinyl edition brings a fresh collectible twist to one of jazz’s most revered albums.

The title track, "Speak No Evil," is a moody and mysterious piece that showcases Shorter's lyrical tenor saxophone tone. "Infant Eyes" remains one of his most beautiful ballads, rich with melancholy and subtle harmonic shifts, while "Witch Hunt" opens the album with driving energy and intricate interplay between horns and rhythm section. Every track reveals Shorter's gift for balancing accessibility with forward-thinking composition.

Pressed on collectible translucent blue vinyl, this Indie Exclusive release offers warm, detailed sound that highlights Rudy Van Gelder's classic studio engineering. Complete with a faithfully reproduced Blue Note jacket, it's a must-have for collectors who appreciate timeless post-bop recordings in a unique presentation.
