Wayne Shorter - The Soothsayer

Just two months after recording his masterpiece Speak No Evil, Wayne Shorter returned to the studio to create The Soothsayer, a dazzling showcase of his compositional genius and improvisational prowess. Backed by a stellar sextet—Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, James Spaulding on alto sax and flute, McCoy Tyner on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums—Shorter guides the listener through five spellbinding originals and a hauntingly beautiful arrangement of Sibelius’ "Valse Triste."

Mastered in stereo from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180g vinyl, this Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition delivers the full depth, warmth, and clarity of one of the most inspired sessions in post-bop history. A must-have for collectors, jazz connoisseurs, and anyone seeking the magic of Shorter at his creative peak.
