Wayne Shorter - Footprints part1

[ImproviseNow]

and at 7:10 they restate the intro

[ImproviseNow]

this is foot prints, but the intro is (basically) just the first 4 bars of waynes original tune " Fall " vamped as he solos over it, then they go in to footprints. in any case i love this version of Footprints.

That's hilarious -- someone said this sounds like Rio by Duran Duran!

Interesting comment below re: Duran Duran....

I hear the similarity too, but I doubt that Wayne Shorter was familiar with them back then, or in 1987 - which is when I first heard him use that melodic line over the 'turnaround' to "Footprints"...

[agocaligiuri]

in fact the turnaround is the cycle of dominant that return to the main theme..!

altough he uses it in there for the intro..

[csilva85]

Dear Mr. Agocaligiuri:

Sorry, your comment is unclear regarding

"cycle of dominant"....

Please re-phrase your comment; I would be happy to read it.

[agocaligiuri]

cycle of dominat means that here is a turnaround that make a "bridge" to the main theme,instead of a symple V dominat chord,

[bman514]

sorry if i'm wrong, but cycle of dominant is when you treat your V dominant as your II, so that the V resolves to the V dom of your new I chord, the I chord that is a whole step below your original V chord. this follows the cycle of fifths, except you only pay attention to the root of the chord, not its color tones. so if you had a Gdom7, you would follow it with a Cdom7, which you could follow with a Fdom7, and so on until you get back to wherever, like the main theme in this case. (i think)

[bman514]

i think that's what csilva was asking about...whatever, maybe this post will help somebody
