Constellations and mythical creatures—these are but a few of saxophonist Wayne Shorter’s varied interests. The “Second Great” Miles Davis Quintet featured the compositions of various members, but primarily Shorter, who spawned a variety of enigmatic works. The infectious, rolling theme gives way to a Davis trumpet solo that shines out with phrases that seem to reach higher and higher into a night sky. Shorter’s urging and angular solo statements are followed by one trademark of this monumental band—a one-handed piano solo by Hancock.
