5 out of 5 stars The Day I Discovered What Jazz Is All About.......2006-03-12

I was just 14yrs. old when this album came out,and I bought it by mistake. This was however the best mistake I ever made on music. From the first track to the last I was captivated by every note of every solo. Joe just blew me away with his tone and his style. Bossa Nova was just coming on the scene in America and Blue Bossa was so unlike anything I had ever heard. Joe played tenderly on ballads,but with a hard edge that was missing from other tenors of the time. This album became my favorite and the standrad by which I would judge all others. It's now more than 40yrs. old and still the record I play all tracks from whenever I play it." Long live Joe Henderson"

5 out of 5 stars The most emotional Blue Note Record from start to finish!.......2003-07-25

This is the only record, which i own, where each track is a notch above the previous, in terms of writing, and improvising...the CD (LP) just gets better and better.

For a jazz newcomer, the songs to lookout for are Kenny's Blue Bossa and Joe's Recorda Me, but don't be fooled. If you buy this record, it won't become one of those records you pull out on occassion to hear 2 songs. You will immediately take to the beauty of the remaining four, especially the last two songs.

Joe Henderson was Blue Note's most requested tenor sideman during the 60s. While his playing evolved (and objectively improved) later on, there is a certain richness in his playing present on his blue note records, that is not always there on his Milestone gigs (while I adore those too.) This album MUST be more acknowledge as a plateau in jazz compostion. It would be impossible to improve upon the record. Not too many are in the same league...Kind Of Blue, Moanin', Love Supreme, Unity, Hubtones, Speak No Evil, Song For My Father, Sweet Rain, Out To Lunch, Saxophone Collosus, and probably about 20 others....but what does this have that others don't?...

...this record is the only record that I believe you can put on and listen from beginning to end, and be consistantly enthralled without one moment of hesitation or impatience for the next soloist to take stage. It is perfect. Every jazz listener who does not own it is doing themselves a major disservice. It sums up the brilliance of the probably the greatest tenor of the past 35 years. I miss you Joe!

5 out of 5 stars Sheer Brilliance.......2000-09-06

Perfection! A beautifully balanced cd featuring sidemen of unquestionable ability including McCoy Tyner (Coltrane's piano player from the quartet and one of the piano giants both as a soloist and a composer shadowed only by the likes of Monk. Kenny Dorham, composer of Blue Bossa performs brilliantly here showing his flexability as a player. Pete La Roca you many know from Sonny Rollins Live At the Village Vanguard (another brilliant album). Butch Warren does a great job on bass setting the tone of each peice. Joe Henderson is Brilliant as always showing off his unique sound without being flashy. He has great ideas and expresses them with ease hinting at his later more out and exploratory playing to come landmarked on the Larry Young album, Unity two years later(Possibly the greatest work of music in the last century.. Recomended for a more mature jazz listener).

Even greater than the two tunes which grab the most attention (Blue Bossa and Homestretch). Are Kenny Dorham's La Mesha and Joe Henderson's Recorda Me and Jinrikisha. McCoy is a genious of accompaniment and feel as well as a Brilliant soloist and really shines on these three tunes. Lastly I feel obliged to mention the always phenominal drumming of Pete La Roca. This is a must have for anyone serious about jazz as a listener or player. Especially important to have for a musician. Don't bother with it if you are one who classifies jazz as Kenny G's duotones and slaughtering of great jazz standards.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!!!.......1999-08-03

Wow! This recording was made the year I was born, and it is sensational! Traditional jazz fans(yes, we are out of the closet now) will rave for this one. Its just like sitting back in a nice night club with a chilled wine at hand and a live set grooving. Show some class. Gotta get it.
