Must-have 60's Blue note.......2007-01-06

How about Coltrane's rhythm section with Wayne Shorter! And Reggie Workman on bass is a treat! Graet playing, deep grooves, great tunes! Has jazz even improved in 40 years?

Shorter fronting Coltrane's quartet- can't go wrong.......2006-03-13

Wayne Shorter brings an entirely different approach that while influenced by Trane sounds unique and fresh. McCoy Tyner is always a heavyweight on any recording where he is featured and the drumming of Elvin Jones continuously astounds. So Shorter's compositions with this combination of musical geniuses results in a dynamic recording that delights the listener with every track. One of the classics that should not be missed.

WAYNE SHORTER: TENOR CLASSIC!!.......2005-08-10

Along with Shorter's discs Night Dreamer and Adam's Apple, Juju is surely Shorter's best disc. "House of Jade" & "12 More Bars to Go" are classic modern jazz tracks: smooth, sophisticated, soulful, etc.

By the way, Shorter is no Coltrane imitator: if anything, Shorter is better than Coltrane. Shorter is exactly the most recent tenor genius in the line of evolution from Coleman Hawkins, through Ben Webster and Les Young, via Coltrane: Shorter is the man!

Coltrane or Wayne?.......2005-07-13

"JuJu" is a great album, but I believe the use of Coltrane's rhythm section pigeonholes Wayne as a Coltane immitator, which he is not. If you love Wayne, invest in this album. If you're just starting to listen to him, I recommend "Speak No Evil" or even "The All Seeing Eye" for the more avante-garde listener.

Four Way Conversation Album!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-05-13

One of the reasons that make this album so good is its interaction between each of the musicians equally. As the drummer usually keeps time with occasional drum solos, Elvin Jones here, almost practically is giving a drum solo during each of Shorter and Tyner's solos, making him part of the conversation in each songs. The opener, similar to John Coltrane's version of Afro Blue is great. The main theme is repeated a lot, almost making it imbibe in your brain, but the melody is outstanding. The second track, Deluge, is what at first seems to be a slow boring ballad, but turns into a swining blues. The repetition of the melody on this song is also great.
House of Jade is similar to Twelve More Bars To Go in the fact that only the melody is the real highlight in the song. Mahjong is great in that the group swings over a beat that is trying to be afro cuban, but has a chinese feel to it. Yes Or No is a bright up tempo piece, with again, a good meoldy phrase. This album is great. It is another classic Blue NOte Album of Shorter's repotoire and jazz!
