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.

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! :)
So happy you found the channel, and I hope you'll tune in every week. Great material drops every Friday at noon!

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 . . .
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.
amazing!!! thanks for guiding us in wayne's universe! surely got a new follower

thank you from UK
Yes I do value these sessions!
Great tune! Last week, Jamie of "Get Your Sax Together" did a cool analysis of Wayne Shorter's solo.
Do you really think Wayne played live with McCoy and Elvin?
Could be, but I have never heard of it.
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 . . .
