“Speak No Evil” is a tune written by Wayne Shorter for his 1964 hit record also entitled “Speak No Evil”.
This is a great example of a tune that combines functional and modal harmony, and can be a lot of fun to play. It is important to check out the original recording on this one so that you can learn the hits on the A and B sections.
