About
Wayne Shorter's tenor sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Herbie Hancock on piano. Spanning four choruses of the 24-bar Blues form at a medium-up 174 BPM with a boogaloo feel in A♭, the solo runs approximately 2:13. Herbie Hancock follows with two choruses of piano, his comping and solo work reflecting the same rhythmic sensibility that made him an ideal accompanist for both Shorter and Miles Davis. "Adam's Apple" is the title track of Wayne Shorter's 1966 Blue Note album, a slinky, groove-based composition that applies a boogaloo feel to a 24-bar blues form in A-flat. Wayne Shorter was 32 to 33 years old at the time of this 1966 recording.
