Three footnotes. 1. Pat Martino is another 8.25. baby. 2. Curtis Institute of Music brings Candide to the stage in April as part of the Curtis Centennial programming. 3. The recently landed Wayne Shorter Celebration Vol 1 on Blue Note is outstanding.
Have loved "Palladium" since the old days, and has long been one of my Wayne favorites. I'm no music theoretician, but what I remember best about it is that it keeps sneakily refusing to resolve, then resolves all of a sudden, spectacularly, at about 3:15. Never have thought that had anything to do with mambo however.
What a coincidence ... just last night I was listening to an incomparably great CD of Barbara Cook at The Cafe Carlyle: The Champion Season: A Salute to Gower Champion (1999).
