about this song
Footprints is a jazz standard composed by Wayne Shorter, first appearing on his 1966 album Adam's Apple. Whilst in 6/4 metre, it is debatable whether it could be called a jazz waltz, since the feel could be divided into compound duple or simple triple time. Harmonically, it takes the form of a 12-bar C minor blues, but this is heavily masked not only by its triple time signature but by its avant garde turnaround (series of chords that return back to the main, or I chord).
