1964 was a momentous year in the musical life ofWayne Shorter. At the start of the year the saxophonist was still a member ofArt Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, appearing on classic Blue Note albums likeFree for AllandIndestructible. Shorter made his own auspicious label debut that spring withNight Dreamerand that summer he joined theMiles Davis Quintetcementing a line-up that would become one of the seminal bands in jazz history. When he returned to the studio for Blue Note in August it was in the company of three musicians with strong ties toJohn Coltrane: pianistMcCoy Tyner, bassistReggie Workman, and drummerElvin Jones. The resulting albumJuJuis a marvel in Shorters formidable discography which presents six of his evocative original compositions including the churning title track, the mesmerizing House of Jade, and the brightly swinging Yes Or No.
