Joe Henderson • Page One

 

Review
by Rovi Staff  
The title Page One is fitting for this disc, as it marks the beginning of the first chapter in the long career of tenor man Joe Henderson. And what a beginning it is; no less than Kenny Dorham, McCoy Tyner, Butch Warren, and Pete La Roca join the saxophonist for a stunning set that includes "Blue Bossa" and "Recorda Me," two works that would be forever associated with Henderson. Both are bossa novas that offer a hip alternative to the easy listening Brazilian trend that would become popular with the masses. Henderson and Dorham make an ideal pair on these and other choice cuts like the blistering "Homestretch" and the engaging swinger "Jinrikisha." These both show the already mature compositional prowess that would become Henderson's trademark throughout his legendary career. The final blues number, "Out of the Night," features powerful work by the leader that only hints of things to come in subsequent chapters.

Reseña
por Rovi Staff  
El título Page One es apropiado para este disco, ya que marca el comienzo del primer capítulo en la larga carrera del tenor Joe Henderson. Y vaya comienzo; nada menos que Kenny Dorham, McCoy Tyner, Butch Warren y Pete La Roca se unen al saxofonista en un impresionante set que incluye "Blue Bossa" y "Recorda Me", dos obras que se asociarían para siempre con Henderson. Ambas son bossa novas que ofrecen una alternativa de moda a la tendencia brasileña easy listening que se haría popular entre las masas. Henderson y Dorham forman una pareja ideal en estos y otros cortes selectos como el abrasador "Homestretch" y el atractivo swinger "Jinrikisha". Ambos muestran la ya madura destreza compositiva que se convertiría en la marca de Henderson a lo largo de su legendaria carrera. El blues final, "Out of the Night", presenta un poderoso trabajo del líder que sólo insinúa lo que vendrá en los capítulos siguientes.
