Wayne Shorter on recording Speak No Evil: "I was thinking of misty landscapes with wildflowers and strange dimly seen shapes---the kinds of places where folklore and legends are born. And then I was thinking of things like witch burnings too."About the song, "Dance Cadaverous": "I was thinking of some of these doctor pictures in which you see a classroom and they're getting ready to work on a cadaver."
About the song, "Infant Eyes": "I was thinking of my daughter."
Shorter on Speak No Evil: "Whatever change I have made so far is still there inside of me, churning around in a little circle."
Speak No Evil, recorded on Dec. 24, 1964, is a stunning jazz recording I received as a Christmas gift from Wendy.
