You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.166.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:02, 6 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Footprints'''" is a [[jazz standard]] composed by saxophonist [[Wayne Shorter]] and first recorded for his album ''[[Adam's Apple (album)|Adam's Apple]]'' in 1966. The first commercial release of the song was a different recording on the [[Miles Davis]] album ''[[Miles Smiles]]'' recorded later in 1966, but released earlier. It has become a jazz standard.

==Rhythm==
[[File:Wayne Shorter.jpg|thumb|Wayne Shorter in 2006]]
Although often written in ((music|time|3|4)) or ((music|time|6|8)), it is not a jazz waltz because the feel alternates between [[simple meter]] and [[Meter (music)#Compound meter|compound meter]]. On ''[[Miles Smiles]]'', the band playfully explores the correlation between African-based ((music|time|12|8)) (or ((music|time|6|8))) and ((music|time|4|4)). Drummer [[Tony Williams (drummer)|Tony Williams]] freely moves from swing, to the three-over-two [[cross rhythm]]—and to its ((music|time|4|4)) correlative.<ref>"Footprints" ''Miles Smiles'' (Miles Davis). Columbia CD (1967).</ref>

The ground of four main beats is maintained throughout the piece. The bass switches to ((music|time|4|4)) at 2:20. [[Ron Carter]]’s ((music|time|4|4)) figure is known as [[tresillo (rhythm)|''tresillo'']] in [[Afro-Cuban music]] and is the duple-pulse correlative of the ((music|time|12|8)) figure.<ref>Peñalosa, David (2010: 43). ''The Clave Matrix; Afro-Cuban Rhythm: Its Principles and African Origins''. Redway, CA: Bembe Inc. ((ISBN|1-886502-80-3)).</ref> This may have been the first overt expression of systemic, African-based cross-rhythm used by a [[Straight-ahead jazz|straight ahead jazz]] group. During Davis’s first trumpet solo, Williams shifts to a ((music|time|4|4)) jazz [[ride pattern]] while Carter continues the ((music|time|12|8)) bass line.

The following example shows the ((music|time|12|8)) and ((music|time|4|4)) forms of the bass line. The slashed noteheads indicate the main [[beat music|beats]] (not bass notes), where one ordinarily taps their foot to "keep time."

==Harmony==
Harmonically, "Footprints" takes the form of a 12-bar [[C minor]] [[twelve-bar blues|blues]], but this is masked not only by its triple time signature but by its [[avant garde]] [[turnaround (music)|turnaround]]. In the key of C minor, a normal turnaround would be Dm<sup>7(((music|flat))5)</sup>, G<sup>7</sup>, Cm<sup>7</sup>. But Shorter doubles the [[harmonic rhythm]] of the turnaround, and the [[chord progression|progression]] reads: F((music|#))m<sup>7(((music|flat))5)</sup>, F<sup>7(((music|sharp))11)</sup>, Eaug<sup>7(((music|sharp))9)</sup>, A<sup>7(((music|sharp))9)</sup>, Cm<sup>7</sup>. In jazz jam sessions and for educational purposes, players often choose D<sup>7(((music|sharp))11)</sup> D((music|flat))<sup>7(((music|sharp))11)</sup> Cm<sup>7</sup> as turnaround, which also fits with the original melody.
