Some of my favorite Herbie playing is on classic Wayne Shorter albums like Speak No Evil or The All Seeing Eye. Herbie and Wayne have a long history playing together and I knew that I wanted to transcribe Herbie on a Shorter tune. Aside from that, I also wanted to take on something in triple meter. On this solo I was more concerned with the rhythms than the actual notes. Herbie's ideas are so rhythmically strong and his swing feels is so relaxed but still full of energy. He also slips in some nice 16th note runs and triplet tricks. In addition to a great piano solo, it was a really nice tune to check out!
