Joe Henderson Sextet, The Village Vanguard - April 24, 1985 Second Set

I uploaded the first set from the late great Joe Henderson at the Village Vanguard on the evening of April 24, 1985. Here is the second set featuring more classic Joe, with a stellar sextet playing in one of the coziest jazz clubs in the world. Of course Joe Henderson was the main attraction, and he didn’t disappoint. In particular, his cadenzas at the end of Invitation and the end of the third tune of the set (at 41:24 and 48:14) were among the highlights. Seven months later, I saw Henderson, Carter and Foster again at the Vanguard, this time as a trio, which was recorded and parts of which were released on Blue Note as “The State of the Tenor“. I will upload the set I saw at some time in the near future. Joe Henderson - tenor saxophone Fred Hersch - piano Pete Yellin - alto saxophone Curtis Fuller - trombone Ron Carter - bass Al Foster - drums. 00:00 band warm-up 00:41 Our Thing (J Henderson) 21:15 Invitation (B Kaper) 43:16 [title unknown] I recorded this on a Sony Walkman Pro D6C with a Sony ECM-102 stereo microphone. Enjoy.
