Jazz for aficionados

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.

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.

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.

So glad to see Joe Henderson lots of love here. Beautiful player! As I think about it, there are probably less than half a dozen players who hasn’t recorded as solo record I did not like; he is definitely one of them. For me, one of the things that I love about him and which makes him unique is that he played with a very modern and advanced harmonic vocabulary, but played it with a tone that did not come from the hard-edged and bright Coltrane sound approach. I can’t think of many like that even today. Joe Lovano is one.

pryso asked:

**** what is the most unusual instrument featured in a jazz recording? ****

Celeste? Bagpipes? Harpsichord? Puleeease!!!! That’s unusual?😄. How’s this for unusual?

Given the examples previously given, some might question whether this can be called “jazz”. This is definitely jazz in my book. Moreover, I think that a record that dedicates a tune to Cannonball Adderly (“Cannon”) by a musician who Miles once said was his biggest influence could probably pretty safely be called jazz...if one cares.

The term “genius” is probably used way too loosely. Hermeto Pascoal was an amazing musical genius. Composer, bandleader and multi-strumentalist on guitars, keys, flutes, saxophones, brass and just about anything that he could get a hold of, he was the idol of the wave of great Brazilian artists who worked with prominent American jazz artists during the 70’s and 80’s (Airto, Flora Purim, Milton Nascimento, Elis Regina, David Amaro). Incredible musician. Way out there at times, but amazing. This record is quite a ride; by one of the most interesting and unusual musicians ever. Think “Herbie Mann goes for a hike with Frank Zappa in the Brazilian jungle”:
