FOR ALL INSTRUMENTS - Wayne Shorter!! As we celebrate the passing of this legend of jazz this week, we’ve got some work to do, trying to understand, play and listen to his deep, challenging and FUN music. “Yes Or No” is a song that is classic Wayne . . . traditional yet forward looking, it combines various elements in less than obvious ways. There’s a lot here to check out. Let’s dig in!

I am NOT a musician, but this analysis was fascinating, to say the least. It gave me a deeper appreciation of the tune. At the same time, I was left with the impression that on this tune, "Yes or No", Wayne Shorter sounded very much like John Coltrane.

[@alankaye2933]

they were friends and practiced together. Also he hired coltranes band

[@thetuncaydeniz]

I LOVE this! This was my first listen to your channel and to this series. This was SO helpful to me to learn to appreciate and enjoy this music that I love so much. I've been playing for a long time, but "you don't know what you don't know" so this has helped me listen to things I never thought about before. Please keep it going! :)

First of Al thank you I’m not a Musician but I do understand those poems that how think of jazz music !!

[@robstevens9590]

Great tune! Last week, Jamie of "Get Your Sax Together" did a cool analysis of Wayne Shorter's solo.

[@armthealiens]

Do you really think Wayne played live with McCoy and Elvin? Could be, but I have never heard of it.

[@JeffAntoniukEducator]

That is a great question. He recorded with these guys plenty, and was in the same time and place and head space. I'd find it hard to believe they DIDN'T, but that is a great question . . .

[@bezuglich]

The onliest beef I have with the recording is how low the bass is. Workman's contribution is equal to his bandmates' - apt, colorful rhythmic and linear commentary, statuesque tone, crying out to be transcribed . . . all but buried in the mix - "gelded," if I may. Would it have killed 'ol Rudy to tick the bass volume control up half a notch? Jeez, get a bank loan and redo the acoustics in that dump of a studio! Eventually the whole thing was remastered - what does that tell you? I guess anyone can be a recording engineer. Anyway, terrific and much-appreciated analysis. It's a big favor to us bassists to learn what's going on, swirling above us on these landmark tunes/albums.

[@robbiethomas6589]

Been binging your channel. Brilliant analysis of the music Jeff. Great stuff!
