Glad to see you all love Joe Henderson as much as I do. Put this up by request. Sorry I been gone so long. Gonna try and maintain this sucka as long as I can. New content this weekend, I promise. Peace!

Found this one at a new spot to me called "The Devils Jazz Pit." A good album, but I can't do anything with the files but listen. It's a FLAC file, and I can't seem to export them out to any other format. If someone out there has this, drop me a line, or a link. Thanks. Laters.

Uh-oh! Got some more Henderson for y'all. Released in the 90's as a double CD with "Black Is The Color," this is another top outing for all youHenderson lovers out there. Torn from the Milestone box set, contains some more live renditions from the Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa, as well as a killer line-up: Henderson (tenor saxophone); Pete Yellen (alto saxophone, flute, bass clarinet); Woody Shaw (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); George Cables (electric piano); Stanley Clarke, Ron McClure (bass); Lenny White (drums); Tony Waters (congas). Enjoy. Laters.

A short, but sweet album. Personnel includes: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); Hideo Ichikawa (electric piano); Kunimitsu Inaba (bass); Motohiko Hino (drums). Recorded live at the Junk Club, Tokyo, Japan on August 4, 1971. Another one by request.
Here's to you, anonymous. Enjoy. Back soon. Peace...

The Quintet is: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); Woody Shaw (trumpet); Tony Waters (congas); George Cables, Lenny White. Recorded live at the Lighthouse Cafe, Hermosa Beach, California (09/1970). Anonymous, this is for you. Back soon, y'all. Enjoy. Peace.

Yet another from the end of Joe's conventional Jazz period, and I say that lightly. Recorded basically around the same time as "Tetragon," picking up where that album left us, and you can't be sad about it. Another great album in terms of great musicianship. Enjoy it guys. Back soon. Peace... Personnel Include: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); Mike Lawrence (trumpet); Grachan Moncur III (trombone); Kenny Barron (piano); Ron Carter (bass); Louis Hayes (drums).

Great album. Shows you where Joe was in terms of conventional jazz, along with a slight hint of where he may be heading, but nowhere near as "out-there" as albums like "Power to the People" & "Canyon Lady." Great Jazz album though... Posted for all you requesting that the Milestone Box Set be re-upped; I didn't forget about you. Personnel Include: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone), Don Friedman & Kenny Barron (piano), Ron Carter (bass), Jack DeJohnette & Louis Hayes (drums).

Taken from two different recording sessions.
Back soon. Peace!

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."

Being since I'm a huge Joe Henderson fan, I decided I post up a few links to this incredibly monstrous 8 Cd collection that I came across on-line. It chronicles his entire career after he left Blue Note to record with Milestone... And to all you beat heads out there, when he was on Milestone, was when he was the most funky. http://rapidshare.com/files/33045618/Milestone.zip This is a rare find. Enjoy!

"Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson's most famous recordings are his early Blue Notes and his more recent Verves, but in between he recorded exclusively for Milestone and, although Henderson was in consistently fine form in the diverse settings, he was somewhat neglected during his middle years. This massive eight-CD set contains all of the music from Henderson's dozen Milestone LPs, plus a duet with altoist Lee Konitz and his guest appearances with singer Flora Purim and cornetist Nat Adderley. The music ranges from Blue Note-style hard bop and modal explorations to fusion and '70s funk, with important contributions made by trumpeters Mike Lawrence, Woody Shaw, and Luis Gasca, trombonist Grachan Moncur III, and keyboardists Kenny Barron, Don Friedman, Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, George Cables, Alice Coltrane, Mark Levine, and George Duke, among others. Not all of the music is classic (some of the later sets are unabashedly commercial), but none of the 82 selections are dull and the very distinctive Henderson always gives his best. It's highly recommended." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.

Because you know you need it, here's another one that you can't go wrong with (http://rapidshare.com/files/32300708/Canyon_Lady.zip) from my favourite underdog Saxaphonist - Joe Henderson. Recording in Berkley Ca sometime in late 1973, he employs some new, along with some old tricks, and continues to stray away from the conventional Jazz method that he became so well known for early on in his career.
Contributors include:
Luis Gasca, Oscar Brashear, John Hunt (tp)
Julian Priester, Nicholaas TenBroek (tb)
Hadley Caliman, Ray Pizzi, Vincent Denham (flutes)
George Duke (el. piano)
Mark Levine (ac.piano)
John Heard (b)
Eric Gravatt (d)
Carmelo Garcia, Victor Pantoja, Francisco Aguabella (perc.)
You can't go wrong with this one... Enjoy!

A great time to be a jazz musician, as far as I'm concerned... The album is definately a stray aware from the conventional jazz structure, and leans more in the direction of funk rythms, and spontanous playing, (special thanx to Jack DeJohnette on drums, Dave Holland on bass, and Art Jenkins on percussion). Henderson's vocals on some trax help move some of the tunes in a direction that he would pursue even further with later albums, but adds enormously to the melodic playing on this particular venture... He is by far one of the most over looked sax players of his time, but as an artist, I think he enjoyed that fact very much. Features Joe Henderson (trumpet) Larry Willis (keys) James Ulmer (guitars) John Thomas (guitar) Dave Holland (bass) Jack DeJohnette (drums) Arthur Jenkins (percussion).

As usual, contains album art, and track listing (for those obsessive conpulsive music listeners such as myself). Ripped @ 192 from the actual CD (don't hate 'cause it ain't vinyl, but I had to get it), curtisy of yours truely. All mp3 format this time, 'cause a few of you cats out there said my files weren't working. Track #6 doesn't appear on the album, but is edited down as it has showed up on about every jazz/funk compilation out there. Enjoy. More Joe to come pretty soon.
