Joe Henderson "Inner Urge" - 1964

This is a good from Henderson's Blue Note days. Contains three very memorable tracks... I'm on the look out for the remainder of his Blue Note recordings, sp please, feel free to drop me a line if you have something I don't. Enjoy! http://rapidshare.com/files/33784981/Inner_Urge.zip Personnel: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); McCoy Tyner (piano); Bob Cranshaw (bass instrument); Elvin Jones (drums). Liner Note Author: Bob Blumenthal. Recording information: Van Gelder Studios, Englewood, NJ (11/30/1964). "But the music on INNER URGE is unique, too, namely in its improvisational approach. Henderson and company span the gaps between hard-bop and avant-garde jazz with greater ease and cohesiveness than many of their contemporaries, a quality best evidenced on the title track. INNER URGE was Henderson's fourth date as a leader for Blue Note Records, and the first time he set out to record without his trusted friend, trumpeter Kenny Dorham. This release features "Isotope," now a well-known Henderson tune, and a lively version of the standard "Night and Day." Clearly the record's most memorable track, however, is the explorative "El Barrio," a droning piece that offers listeners a plethora of rich musical textures, modal detours, and percussive explosions."
