About

Wayne Shorter's tenor sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Herbie Hancock on piano. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a ballad tempo of 53 BPM in F, the solo runs approximately 1:16. Shorter's one-chorus tenor saxophone solo unfolds with the patience and lyricism that his ballad playing always exhibited, each phrase carefully shaped and richly voiced. "Teru" is a ballad from Wayne Shorter's 1966 album Adam's Apple, taken at a gentle 53 BPM over a 32-bar AABA form in F. Wayne Shorter was 32 to 33 years old at the time of this 1966 recording.
