Some notes about the composition as found on
https://www.jazzguitarcomprehensive.com/

Composer: Wayne Shorter

Year: 1966

Origin: Introduced on the album Adam's Apple.

Style: Waltz

Form: minor blues (24 bars)
A minor blues with an extended form and unconventional turnaround.

Key: C minor

Harmony/Overview: While this composition is based on a standard minor blues, the turn-around is not entirely functional. On the original recording Herbie Hancock can be heard playing F# m7b5 - FMaj7# 11 - Emi7b5 - EbMaj7# 11. However, this tends to be a place of contention among many musicians as varying lead sheets include different sets of changes. Other common turnarounds used on this tune include: F# m7b5 - F7# 11 - E7alt - Eb7# 11, and also F# m7b5 - B7alt - Emi7b5 - A7alt. Some lead sheets will even only include D7 - Db7. It is worth noting that there are countless possibilities in the reharmonization of this passage, and that the majority of differing changes revolve mainly around substituting Maj7 sounds for Dominant sounds, along with the utilization of tri-tone substitution.​ The use of metric modulation and super-imposition of different time signatures is also commonly used when approaching this tune; as first heard on the highly influential recording from Miles Smiles.

Recordings: This song has been recorded over 175 times to date. It was first recorded by Wayne Shorter on his album album Adam's Apple in 1966. Miles Davis would also record it as a leader later that same year on his album Miles Smiles. Since then it has become one of the most popular standards in the repertoire among instrumentalists, and it continues to be performed and recorded frequently to this day. It also remains an especially popular jam session vehicle.
