Today's Listen:
Wayne Shorter -- JUJU
with/ McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Elvin Jones
The gang is all here except for the Big Man himself.
From the Notes: The first eight measures of "house of jade" were written by his wife Irene, an untrained non-musician. The opening, "JuJu" is thus titled because, Wayne recalls, "when I wrote the tune I was thinking of Africa...."
Apparently VooDoo is the Haitian version of JuJu.
These guys live in the greatest country in the world, courtesy of the Christian God, and all they think of is Africa and voodoo.
All tunes written by Shorter.
