Recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studios in March 1965, just two months after the sessions that produced his masterpiece Speak No Evil, Wayne Shorter returned to the studio with one of the most formidable lineups in jazz history. The sextet features Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams, delivering deeply engaged performances that showcase Shorter's gift for crafting music that is both intellectually rich and emotionally resonant.
The Soothsayer presents five beguiling Shorter originals alongside a beautifully conceived arrangement of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius' "Valse Triste," demonstrating the saxophonist's remarkably wide-ranging musical vision. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog and mastered by the acclaimed Kevin Gray directly from the original master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal in Germany, making it an excellent way to experience this long-celebrated Blue Note session.
