I have to correct the credit. The 4th tune "Waltz" is actually my composition "Waltz For Evans" which I recorded with Joe on MUSE Records (out of print) in late 1980. Though I am honored he kept this tune in his book for a long time, I always wondered why he credited himself as the composer.
@@justanothernguyen2334 The original recording was on "Akio With Joe Henderson" Muse Records - MR 5367 He also recorded the song for an Italian label in early '90s and credit was given to a female bassist who was touring with him at the time. He did things like that here and there...

Please, all the people of Planet Earth! Do not forget the intonations and improvisations of Mr. Joe Henderson ... we'll all feel better if we remember!
What wonderful musician Joe was-I don't think everyone who likes jazz fully appreciated what a terrific tenor player he was when he was with us. Whenever I've talked to musicians in clubs and so on I've realised just how much respect their was for his talent-I know Mike Brecker held him in high esteem. What a marvellous bass player George Mraz was. A great upload -thank you.
He did these concerts to publicise Bhekhi Mseleku who was known on the Lindon scene and introduce him to the greater jazz world. They were both great ,
Will somebody please press this for a record day release for something. Jeez is on point. Thank you Mr Henderson and co.! What you left behind has made the world a better place.
Home grown Talent from wow South Africa. That's all I will say. But thanks for posting this. He held our flag very high as a musician. Wow once again. Stella by Starlight a Stellar interpretation .Mraz wow fantastic bassist
Intense musical implosions of the magnitude of a star transforming itself into aBlack Hole. Mr. Henderson is an embodiment of Bird’s legacy-Condensation of the State of the Tenor.
Wow, this sounds like a studio recording! Joe and band are all great, of course, but I'd love to know the audio engineer on this. Only thing I'd change would be to bring piano down in the mix and/or minimize its stereo spread (it's a bit much when he's just comping). But this really sounds great, thanks for posting!
masterful genuise phrasing and control is amazing with out whining and overplaying the sax for sensationalists effect (david sanborn types ) two different music styles for sure but the mentality is what im talking about not the style of music it is expressed in. and the western press barely even notice her was gone when the brother passed.
I hate spell checking and predictive correction. I was saying that as a working musician I'm required to play many different styles and genres of music, but jazz is still the most individually expressive.
