Joe Henderson - Power to the People (1969)



By the looks of things, alot of you dug that last Joe Henderson album I "upped," so, here's another. http://rapidshare.com/files/28473976/Power_to_the_People.zip Not AS electric as the last one, and definately not AS melodic (probably due to the expertise of piano great Herbie Hancock on keys, bass legend Ron Carter on both the stand-up AND electric bass, and let's not forget about Jack DeJohnette playing all over this mother) but still an outstanding album by far. I tend to like this one a little more, because sometimes you just aren't in the mood for a jam-filled album full of tracks with the players just going off, and showing you what they can do. This line up does exactly the same thing, but maintains the melody while doing so. They aren't just riding a riff for 7 or 8 minutes, they're actually playing a composed song. It my song like I'm down talking this album, but I'm not, I just love this one a little more. It's like having two beautiful girlfriends with-in arms reach, you kind help but like the more experienced one more than the other. Anyways the line-up is as goes...

1. Black Narcissus
2. Afro-Centric
3. Opus One-Point Five
4. Isotope
5. Power To The People
6. Lazy Afternoon
7. Foresight And Afterthought

Personnel includes : Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Jack De Johnette, Mike Lawrence.

Enjoy, and stay tuned for more, I just got something HOT in the mail!!!
