Odyssey of Iska

A key transitional album for Wayne Shorter, 'Odyssey of Iska' finds him moving away from the structured post-bop of his earlier work towards a more free-flowing, episodic, and narrative style. It is a deeply atmospheric and spiritual journey, often seen as a precursor to the sound he would explore with Weather Report. The long-form compositions and unique orchestration make it a standout in his discography.
