“Fall” and Miles Davis’ Nefertiti ( 111)
Standards Rating 4, Difficulty Rating 6
“Fall,” written by Wayne Shorter, is a 16-bar composition featured on Nefertiti (1968) by Miles Davis. The melody is marked by its openness and its emphasis on upper extensions—13ths, 11ths, and altered tones—rather than simple chord tones, creating an atmosphere of suspended harmony and emotional ambiguity. The mirrored structure of the opening phrases reinforces this sense of balance and design. Performed by the Miles Davis Second Great Quintet—Shorter, Davis, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams—the track blurs the line between written material and improvisation. Time feels elastic, melodic fragments resurface beneath solos, and the collective interplay becomes the focal point. As Davis’s final fully acoustic studio statement, Nefertiti captures the quintet at peak intuition, redefining small-group jazz through restraint and subtle structural innovation.
