"Bill McHenry (tenor sax) is a bandleader on the rise. He has been an important asset to the New York City jazz scene for years, although a little below the radar. McHenry started as a member of the celebrated Small’s Jazz Club community that has produced many contemporary stars, including Brad Mehldau, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Guillermo Klein. Since then, McHenry has made a name for himself by enriching a number of amazing ensembles with his rich saxophone voice including Klein’s Los Guachos, the legendary drummer Paul Motian’s Quintet and his own Quartet. On his first recording for Sunnyside, Roses, McHenry recorded his amazing ensemble which features Paul Motian (drums) along with Ben Monder (guitar) and Reid Anderson (bass). This recording of forward leaning original compositions will definitely put McHenry on the map as leader that should be watched."
