Speak No Evil is an album by Wayne Shorter, recorded on 24 December 1964 and released on Blue Note in 1965. It is considered by many critics to be Shorter's finest album, and one of the classics of the hard bop (or post-bop) genre.

Held over from the last session is Coltrane's drummer Elvin Jones; but newly arrived from Davis's band are, on piano and bass respectively, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter. Rounding out the quintet on trumpet is Freddie Hubbard, an associate of Shorter's from his days as musical director of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Hubbard was also, by 1964, a frequent collaborator of Hancock's. Shorter brought six.    Download this sheet!
