Joe Henderson - The Standard Joe (CD)
Henderson breathes new life, ferocity and humor into the familiar repertoire turf of Blue Bossa, Take the ‘A’train e Round Midnight
On March 21, 1991, Henderson again recorded for Red Records, this time producing The Standard Joe at the Sear Sound recording studio in New York City, with bassist Rufus Reid replacing Haden. Three songs from the session touch base with Henderson’s halcyon Blue Note days - Blue Bossa comes from Page One, Henderson’s debut as a leader on Blue Note in 1963 that became a jam session staple around the world. In’n Out, an altered modal blues, is from his April 1964 album of the same name while Inner Urge is from his November 1964 album of the same name and has a melody mainly derived from the Lydian Major 7th Flat 5 Chord. Johnny Green’s Body and Soul became staple of the jazz repertoire after Coleman Hawkins put it on the jazz map, and here Henderson plays two long takes of the song, both near perfect. Thelonious Monk’s Round Midnight provokes a memorable Henderson interpretation, while Take the ‘A’ Train, written by Billy Strayhorn, was Duke Ellington’s signature tune but never before performed by saxophone, bass and drums combination.
