About
Reggie Workman's acoustic bass solo closes out the improvised statements on this recording, following Herbie Hancock's piano. Spanning two choruses of the 24-Bar form at a moderate 133 BPM with a waltz feel in C, the solo runs approximately 1:04. Hancock follows with three luminous piano choruses, and Reggie Workman contributes two choruses of acoustic bass that showcase his melodic sensibility. "Footprints" from Wayne Shorter's 1966 album Adam's Apple is the first recording of what would become one of the most enduring compositions in the jazz repertoire. Reggie Workman was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1966 recording.
