Speak No Evil

by Wayne Shorter

🎷 Jazz
Difficulty ★★★★★
Tuning Standard
Capo None

The title track from Shorter's 1964 masterpiece. Built on a dark, mysterious Cm theme with angular intervallic leaps and dense altered dominant voicings, this composition epitomizes the adventurous spirit of 1960s post-bop.
