Joe Henderson-tenor sax
Chick Corea-piano
Ron Carter-bass
Billy Higgins-drums
This is an acoustic outing from 1980 by the great tenor saxist and a truly all-star outfit about a decade before Joe's late career stardom when he signed to Verve.
"The music is a perfect document of Henderson at his artistic peak, playing his heart out with his usual virtuosity. Although basically a mainstream Bebop album, there are many moments on this album where the quartet moves into Free, with Henderson's expanded solos being among his strongest in his career.
Corea fans will find him playing acoustic piano brilliantly, as he always does, also exploring Free territory occasionally, as he so often did during the early days of his career. Carter and Higgins play amicably all the way through and of course their being among the top American players is felt very strongly.
Overall this is a neglected gem, which Jazz lovers simply should have in their collections. Perfect execution, superb sound quality and a piece of Jazz history; one simply can't ask for anything more!"-rateyourmusic
