I have always loved the moody & mysterious haunting beauty of this tune from Wayne Shorter's masterpiece, the 1966 Speak No Evil. This is the Alternate Take and pianist Herbie Hancock takes center stage here. With Freddie Hubbard-TRP, Ron Carter-B & Elvin Jones-D

If you have not seen the movie Round Midnight starring Dexter Gordon who is amazing as a US expat over in Paris, then you really should, for Gordon's performance, the story, but also because Herbie Hancock wrote the Oscar winning score and Wayne Shorter was magic

Pianist and founder of the Modern Jazz Quartet, John Lewis offered one of the most amazing solo jazz reimaginations of the Duke Ellington piece from Ellington's Black, Brown, & Beige Suite, and the way Lewis deconstructs/reconstructs is a thing of beauty, and work of art.
