Wayne Shorter
Tenor Sax Solo on
The Collector

About

Wayne Shorter's tenor sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Herbie Hancock on piano. Set at a bright 267 BPM with a swing feel in E, the solo runs approximately 2:35. The track represents the most harmonically adventurous moment on the album, pointing toward the freer approaches that both Shorter and Hancock would explore in subsequent decades. "The Collector" from Wayne Shorter's 1966 album Adam's Apple is an extended, free-flowing performance that features four soloists exploring Herbie Hancock's composition at a brisk 267 BPM in E minor. Wayne Shorter was 32 to 33 years old at the time of this 1966 recording.
