Tenor saxophonist
Joe Henderson
has had a remarkably consistent career. Although he has spent periods (such as the 1970s) in relative obscurity and others as almost a jazz superstar,
Henderson
's style and sound has been relatively unchanged since the 1960s. This lesser-known album finds
in typically fine form in an acoustic quartet with pianist
Chick Corea
, bassist
Ron Carter
and drummer
Billy Higgins
.
Carter
and
Corea
contribute two songs apiece,
gets to perform his
"Joe's Bolero"
and the tenor sounds majestic on "What's New." ~ Scott Yanow
