Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil is one of the most mysterious and beautiful records Blue Note ever released, and it returns here as part of the label's Essentials Series.
Shorter was a key member of Miles Davis's quintet when he made this album, and his compositions were already reshaping modern jazz. Joined by Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Elvin Jones on drums, he crafted a set of tunes inspired by folklore, dreams and dark fairy tales. Released in 1966, it balances hard bop drive with a haunting, impressionistic atmosphere unlike anything else from the period.
"Witch Hunt" opens with a stark, urgent horn fanfare before settling into an ominous, rolling swing. "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum" is playful yet slightly sinister, true to its storybook title, while the title track "Speak No Evil" glides along on Jones's restless, rippling drums. Then there is "Infant Eyes," a tender ballad that has become a standard, Shorter's tenor saxophone sounding hushed and achingly lyrical over Hancock's delicate chords.
Every player here was at a creative peak, and the interplay feels both intricate and effortless. On vinyl, the album's moody textures and rich tones shine, a cornerstone of any jazz collection.
