In a sense this is Shorter’s essay on groove, but his angularity never makes it likely that the whole album would attain that ineffable level, or that he’d even want that.

Spotlight on this release
-
Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
Wayne Shorter's seminal album was the third in a prolific six years of recordings for Blue Note, and while Speak No Evil still retains the accessibility of early hard bop, it also showcases the saxophonist's unique and unorthodox compositional style.

Classic Album Review
Whilst it has the accessibility of traditional hard bop, it also showcases some of the celebrated saxophonist’s more adventurous and idiosyncratic qualities.
