Adam’s Apple – Wayne Shorter
“Adam’s Apple,” released in 1966, is yet another testament to Wayne Shorter’s genius and versatility. With this album, Shorter straddles the realms of hard bop and post-bop, combining catchy melodies with intricate compositions. It showcases Shorter’s distinctive tenor tone and the harmonically rich sound that was emblematic of his ’60s Blue Note era. The track “Footprints,” in particular, has become a jazz standard, covered by many artists since.
