My ride home at night is becoming my new favorite place to listen to music. Last night I listened to what I consider to be one of the greatest albums of all time: Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil. I love everything about this record, from Wayne's eerie, timeless compositions, to the crisp sound of Elvin Jones' ride cymbal. No matter how many times I listen to it Speak No Evil retains a feeling of mystery, like it knows something that can't be described. I could go on for days about how much this record means to me, but instead here is a song from is, and a video of Wayne playing in the Miles Davis Quintet.
