I've always liked this album and have played a guitar version of Tom Thumb. It's not really his most essential one, but it's good. several earlier albums like Speak No Evil are considered his best. Thanks for the review.
Wayne Shorter’s Blue Note recordings are truly precious and significant. It is difficult to select a favorite since all of them echo with the rich ever evolving story that is jazz music. I have an advantage having only been 18 yrs old and already almost five years in as a committed jazz fan when this album made the scene in 1969 even though it was recorded in 1967. Mr Shorter was already a clear hero for me and many of my contemporaries. We were always ripe with anticipation for his latest releases. With “Schizophrenia” we get some fine fine musical moments with Wayne and cohorts pushing the existing boundaries of hard bop. With the addition of James Spaulding and Mr Fuller in the front line he expands the color spectrum and gives us a peep into his broadening universe. Of course he and Curtis worked together with Buhaina as Jazz Messengers so they are old stablemates. Spaulding out of Naptown knows the blues and plays with soulfulness/aggression and has the credentials required to hang. Mr. Joe Chambers, is a gift in any musical setting and clearly one of the best percussionist of his generation. When you see his name on a recording you can expect depth and understanding of the Jazz vocabulary. Ron Carter and Herbie both sidekicks of Wayne’s in Miles Davis’ band(they recorded “Sorcerer” with Miles just two months after this) are masterful and really intuitive here. Go! plus Miyako are favs of mine but you can’t miss with Mr Shorter on Blue Note. He shines in every context as sideman and leader. Matthew, you do justice to the artist and thus the music. I encourage you to proceed on your journey and continue to enjoy the unfolding mysteries of the art form.
Thank you for that insightful post!
Matthew - I have the album already, but I really appreciate the reviews that you are doing
Super helpful
sounds like a great album! i've never heard it before!
woh. how did you play so much of the songs without fear of copyright? Thanks! Fun to actually hear the albums when someone does an album review.
@@nerdsreselling they usually get demonetized.
@@bellisariosonic makes sense I didn't know they left the audio up and just demonetize. I thought UA-cam just took the whole video down.
