Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye (Blue Note Tone Poet)

Tenor saxophone master and composer Wayne Shorter recorded The All Seeing Eye on October 15, 1965. The brilliant and ambitiously multi-layered album features Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Grachan Moncur III on trombone, James Spaulding on alto saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Joe Chambers on drums, and, on one track, Wayne’s brother Alan Shorter on flugelhorn. Shorter’s goal for the album was to use “a wider range of colors and textures” while continuing his explorations of “life and the universe and God.”
