Track:
When he wrote this, Wayne Shorter was thinking of Elvin Jones drum style and was counting on Elvin's ability to play a heavy groove that paradoxically floats in waltz time, to evoke dream time. And he gave pianist McCoy Tyner a sequence of four chords that repeats obsessively until it suspends and floats for a few breaths before the obsession returns, a kind of dream logic.That, with Reggie Workman's bass, provides the underneath. Elvin, McCoy and Workman lock in to give Shorter and Lee Morgan a magic carpet of sound to fly with.Shorter and Morgan both dig in and use tenor sax, trumpet and the magic available to find wonders to play for you. I can't recommend this highly enough.
