JOE HENDERSON
* Mode for Joe *

Seit Joe Henderson 1963 bei Blue Note mit “Page One” seine Solokarriere gestartet hatte, legte er bei dem Label ein exzellentes Album nach dem anderen vor. Besonders heraus stach 1966 “Mode For Joe”, auf dem sich der Tenorsaxophonist mit einem sehr dynamischen Allstar-Septett in Szene setzte. AllMusic nannte es eines “ein großartiges Beispiel für modernen Jazz vom Feinsten” und “eines der faszinierendsten Alben der Saxophonlegende”.

Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson capped off his run of five sublime 1960s Blue Note leader dates with his 1966 classic Mode for Joe, an album bursting with vigor and vitality that found Henderson expanding his palette with a septet of colorful figures including Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone, Cedar Walton on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums. The band delivers six powerful performances, playing with white-hot intensity on Henderson’s originals “A Shade of Jade,” Caribbean Fire Dance,” and “Granted,” as well as Morgan’s swinger “Free Wheelin’.” But it’s the remarkable title track by Walton that emerges as the standout of the set, a modal masterpiece where the leader summons one of his most transcendent and visceral solo statements.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
