Joe Henderson

Musician

American tenor saxophonist active from the 1960s until 2001, known for landmark hard-bop and post-bop recordings on Blue Note and for collaborations with McCoy Tyner, Kenny Dorham and Ron Carter.

Born May 24, 1937. Died June 30, 2001. Primary instrument: tenor saxophone.

Three DeBaser reviews applaud Joe Henderson's warm tenor tone, technical command and compositional strength. Page One is celebrated for its soulful sound and iconic tracks like "Recorda Me" and "Blue Bossa." Inner Urge is described as dark, intense and dialogic with McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. The State of the Tenor volumes showcase sparse, high-mastery live trio interplay with Ron Carter and Al Foster.

For:Jazz fans, students of the tenor saxophone, listeners of hard bop and live jazz
