Joe Henderson

Killer work from Joe Henderson, back when he was blowing with a fire that kind of died out in later years, working with a fierce young group that featured Kenny Dorham, McCoy Tyner, Richard Davis and Elvin Jones. Henderson's tone is rough and young – but in a great way, one that's perfect for the exploratory nature of his original tunes on the set, and which matches the mood of Dorham's compositions as well. And if the title's not enough of a hint – let us just tell you that the record goes in and out!
