One of those iconoclastic Shorter compositions that, in many ways, defines an era of jazz. The piece’s opening theme almost seems perfunctory to the exploration of the ensemble that follows. Subtlety reigns as everyone leaves a lot of space for each other, bobbing and weaving through solo sections from all but McBee. It’s somewhat baffling that these recordings from 1965 were not released until 1980.
