Second Genesis is the second album by jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter recorded by the Vee-Jay label in 1960 but not released until 1974.[4][5] It was his second session as leader, performing with drummer and Jazz Messengers bandmate Art Blakey. The pianist on the album, Cedar Walton, joined Blakey's group the following year, after the departure from the group of pianist Bobby Timmons in June of 1961.
