#BillBruford has exited retirement from music (which he entered into in 2009) and is back, but playing straightahead #jazz in a UK trio, with no high ambitions for arenas. The Pete Roth Trio (led by his former drum tech in Earthworks) do an admirable job with a #WayneShorter tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sopGQnINKcI
If you're a #JazzFan, you already "in love" with Blue Note Records & it will take a lot more lot more than 5 minutes to listen to all of the suggested tracks in this NYT article -- it'll take you over 8 mins to listen to the 1st -- but, take my word for it, it's worth the time.
#WayneShorter's #SpeakNoEvil; #LeeMorgan's #PartyTime; #ArtBlakey's #Pensativa; #BobbyHutherson's #Avis & #CliffordBrown's #EasyLiving are my favorite tracks among those mentioned.

A while back I ranked my favorite Autumn albums and somehow forgot to include what has got to be the best Autumn album ever: Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil.
This is Wayne Shorter's album but to me the real star on this is Herbie Hancock. This album represents some of his best and most creative playing and the melodies are such earworms.

Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
Yet another true classic from Shorter. This 1964 release featuring Shorter, Ron Carter (bass), Elvin Jones (drums), Herbie Hancock (piano), and Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), has them playing a great set of Shorter originals.
One of the best albums of the period, I think, given a spiffy reissue by Blue Note.
And for completeness let me repost here the 1st recording I posted in a different thread, Oriental folk song #WayneShorter #livemusic #jazz
