The All Seeing Eye

Wayne Shorter's most ambitious and overtly spiritual work, 'The All Seeing Eye' is a suite exploring cosmic and existential themes, from the creation of the universe to the nature of good and evil. Using a larger ensemble, Shorter's dense, dramatic compositions evoke a sense of awe and terror. It is a pivotal work of composed spiritual jazz, marking the moment a master of post-bop turned his gaze fully to the heavens and created a singular, programmatic avant-garde statement.
