My suggestion for Joe Henderson, try the whole album or at least look for favorite tunes -

Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

frogman Yes that effect Dorham uses at the minute mark in "Blue Bossa' is not a mistake and I have heard it from other horn players, Scott Hamilton comes to mind regarding this effect. In fact I believe Joe handerson uses this effect at about the 10 sec mark into the other cut you posted from "An Evening With" .Yes? I can't add much more than what you have said about Henderson and agree he is up there as one of my favorite tenor players of that era. Such an inventive soloist and terrific songwriter. He might not have the name recognition of a Sonny Rollins , Coltrane or Dexter Gordon but certainly belongs in that group when evaluating top tenor players. ghosthouse I don't know how much exposure you've had to Henderson but you can't go wrong with ANY of his Blue Note work and also his later recordings on Milestone records. Thanks for bringing attention to him. I need to dig out my vinyl lp's with Henderson and relisten. Joe as sideman w/G Green: JOES SOLO STARTS AT 7:48 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gwaFDFP7m_E |
pryso haha . Yes we all did not have the long green back then . It looked like a Chevy Bel-Air a neighbor had in high school which I thought was a really cool car. Can't help you out with the 45 changers , was not aware they even had that feature available. Good choice on the "Musing For MILES" .Another late Henderson album is "lush Life" that I recommend . A tribute to B Strayhorn music. Have not heard from orpheus10 lately hope he is doing okay. Thanks to Alexatpos for additional Henderson. |
