Joe Henderson • Relaxin' at Camarillo

 

Review
by Ron Wynn
Henderson had been doing quality work for years on numerous independent and foreign labels, and 1979's Relaxin' at Camarillo, is just one among many examples of that. There are five selections, only one less than eight minutes long, with the usual Henderson attributes: full, deep tone, keen ideas, and an ability to sweep through registers and across octaves with ease. Chick Corea made an excellent partner, playing with none of the self-consciousness that crops up repeatedly in his fusion and electric fare. Bassists and drummers were interchangeable, although you can certainly tell Tony Williams from Peter Erskine (and that's no knock on Erskine).

Reseña
por Ron Wynn
Henderson llevaba años haciendo un trabajo de calidad en numerosos sellos independientes y extranjeros, y Relaxin' at Camarillo, de 1979, es sólo uno de los muchos ejemplos de ello. Hay cinco selecciones, sólo una de menos de ocho minutos de duración, con los atributos habituales de Henderson: tono pleno y profundo, ideas agudas y una capacidad de barrer a través de los registros y de las octavas con facilidad. Chick Corea fue un excelente compañero, tocando sin la autoconciencia que aparece repetidamente en sus obras de fusión y eléctricas. Los bajistas y los bateristas eran intercambiables, aunque ciertamente se puede distinguir a Tony Williams de Peter Erskine (y eso no es una crítica a Erskine).
