JOE HENDERSON "PAGE ONE"
2009 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS "THE BLUE NOTE REISSUES", 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, CATALOG NUMBER AP-84140, #558 OF A SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, RECORDING BY RUDY VAN GELDER, MASTERED BY KEVIN GRAY AND STEVE HOFFMAN USING THE ORIGINAL ANALOG BLUE NOTE MASTER TAPES, PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"PAGE ONE" INTRODUCED THE JAZZ WORLD TO THE UNUSUALLY MATURE AND ORIGINAL YOIUNG TENOR SAXOPHONIST, JOE HENDERSON. "RECORDA-ME" AND "BLUE BOSSA" HAVE BECOME JAZZ CLASSICS FOR THEIR UNIQUE MIX OF BRAZILIAN RHYTHMS AND HARD BOP MUSCLE. FEATURING KENNY DORHAM, BUTCH WARREN, MCCOY TYNER AND PETE LA ROCA."
"PAGE ONE" IS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT RECORDING DEBUTS IN JAZZ HISTORY. WHILE MOST FIRST EFFORTS FEATURE A PROMISING JAZZ MUSICIAN IN THEIR EARLY STAGES WHEN THEY SOUND A BIT LIKE THEIR MUSICAL HEROES SINCE THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THEIR OWN VOICES. "PAGE ONE" IS MUCH DIFFERENT. JOE HENDERSON, WHO WAS 26 AT THE TIME, WAS ALREADY FULLY FORMED. HIS SOUND WAS IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE AND HIS ABILITY TO PLAY BOTH INSIDE (HARD BOP) AND OUTSIDE (EXPLORATIVE JAZZ) AT THE SAME TIME MADE HIM UNIQUE FROM THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAREER."
"HENDERSON BEGAN HIS CAREER PLAYING LOCALLY IN DETROIT. AFTER SERVING IN THE MILITARY AND HAVING A BRIEF STINT WITH ORGANIST JACK MCDUFF, HE JOINED TRUMPETER KENNY DORHAM'S GROUP IN 1962. DORHAN CHAMPIONED HENDERSON AND HELPED GET HIM SIGNED TO BLUE NOTE. FOR "PAGE ONE", HENDERSON UTILIZED DORHAM, PIANIST MCCOY TYNER, BASSIST BUTCH WARREN AND DRUMMER PETE LA ROCA FOR A REMARKABLE SET OF FORWARD-LOOKING AND PASSIONATE JAZZ. "PAGE ONE" INCLUDES THE EARLIEST RECORDINGS OF DORHAM'S "BLUE BOSSA" (WHICH HAS BEEN A STANDARD EVER SINCE), "LA MESHA" AND FOUR HENDERSON ORIGINALS INCLUDING "RECORDA-ME" HENDERSON AND DORHAM MAKE FOR A PERFECT TEAM AS THEY SHOW ON SUCH NUMBERS AS THE SWINGING "JINRIKISHA", THE EXPLOSIVE "HOMESTRETCH" AND THE BLUES "OUT OF THE NIGHT." DORHAM, A VETERAN FROM THE BEBOP ERA, EFFECTIVELY PASSED THE TORCH TO JOE HENDERSON WHO FROM THIS POINT ON WOULD MAKE A SUPERB SERIES OF TIMELESS RECORDINGS. "PAGE ONE" WAS A GIANT FIRST STEP IN A VERY SIGNIFICANT CAREER."
