About
Reggie Workman's acoustic bass solo is the 3rd of 4 on this recording, following Herbie Hancock's piano and followed by Joe Chambers on drums. Set at a bright 265 BPM with a swing feel in E, the solo runs approximately 1:02. Bassist Reggie Workman then contributes a solo that demonstrates the instrument's potential for melodic improvisation at fast tempos. "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. Reggie Workman was 28 to 29 years old at the time of this 1966 recording.
