JSL: Joe Henderson - oooof!

[C]

The lads are firing on all cylinders

As tight as a duck’s arse/ass





.

McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones must have had many hours together by the time this was recorded.

Yes 1964/65 I recall



.

Recorded 4/64 and released 1/65




.

[C]

The melodies are very strong and memorable


.

[C]

I love a drop of double bass - Richard Davis was tremendous player




.

Doobs.


Not surprised he (apparently) barely remembers Astral Weeks, though he's regarded as the musical director!

If more of the trickier/complex jazzers in the sixties had made records this lush and inviting, the more inventive side of jazz might have caught on.

Chuck Mangione and Kenny G may never have happened.

[C]

Sadly to the last track

[Spock!]

The melodies are very strong and memorable


.

Yep - there have been several phrases that have struck a chord - expect they'll come bursting out when I'm out walking or cycling.

As long as you don’t walk into a tree or fall of your bike lad!

These later tracks recall the Jazz Messengers. Tight, with amazing unison horn work.

Zap was grade 5 double bass - I wish he had continued

Still it’s a bit big to lug around uni or on the bus!

Indeed

Beautiful

I agree.

I have a soft spot for him.

But too many people start and end their jazz journey with that type of thing.

[Spock!]

That was cracking!



Good call Skip.






Take care.

Chris - I think you are next up!!

Will get on the jazz case!
