Footprints is a jazz standard composed by Wayne Shorter, first appearing on his 1966 album Adam's Apple. Whilst in 6/4 metre, it is debatable whether it could be called a jazz waltz, since the feel could be divided into compound duple or simple triple time. Harmonically, it takes the form of a 12-bar C minor blues, but this is heavily masked not only by its triple time signature but by its avant garde turnaround (series of chords that return back to the main, or I chord). In the key of C minor, a normal turnaround would be Dm7(b5), G7, Cm7. But Shorter doubles the harmonic rhythm of the turnaround, and the progression reads: F#m7b5, F7#11, Eaug7(#9), A7(#9), Cm7. The best-known recorded version is on the 1966 Miles Davis album Miles Smiles. Wayne Shorter (born August 25, 1933) is an American jazz musician and songwriter, commonly regarded as one of the most important American jazz.    Download this sheet!

Everything about piano sheet music Sheet music has a history of its own, dating back to the 19th century. In those days, musicians would play classic compositions using sheet music piano. Later on, when bands started performing, music sheets were back in vogue as a means to recreate these old compositions. What is it? Sheet music is nothing but a written notation of the piano notes. Depending on what musical composition the sheet music is for, the musical notes written will also differ. Most people have a wrong notion that it is only the popular compositions, which have recorded onto sheet music piano.
