Recorded: 1963 Label: Blue Note Comments: A completely underrated player by the general public until the 1990's, Joe Henderson is one the most important players on his instrument. Influential to every sax player who's come after him, his unique style and sound is quirky, bold, and wry, all at the same time. After only a few bars you just know it's Joe "Hen." These two CD's from the 60's are just classic must haves, as are most of his other Blue Note releases.

Recorded: 1985 Label: Blue Note Comments: Still rather unknown to the general public in the 80's, this double CD is an incredible document of Joe in his most common format of the last 15 years of his life - the sax/bass/drums trio.
