Title: Inspired playing by Henderson
Product review: First of all, Kenny Dorham sounds great on this CD. He creates interesting lines of notes melodically, and makes great "special effects" sounds with the trumpet. But my favorite part of the album is the Joe Henderson solos. He is clearly inspired by Tony Williams and Herbie Hancock. Tony's inventive drumming and Herbie's stacatto comping give him interesting material to play around. Joe here is both rhythmically and melodically interesting. He swings, but doesn't play each note at the exact beat where a swinging rhythm would be expected. His playing is somewhat similar to Wayne Shorter's, but Joe certainly swings his eighth notes more than Wayne.
