Title: Great for Joe Henderson, but not as good at Ptah
Review: Joe Henderson stretches out here for sure. I think perhaps he was trying to move into a more spiritual realm with the help of Trane and Alice and Pharoah, but in the end, I believe he moved back closer to a straight ahead sound. I hate to try to psychoanalyze him though, as it's not fair. I have seen him a couple of times and really loved the shows, not knowing at the time, he had made these recordings with Alice. I really prefer the Ptah, El Daoud with him and Pharoah. He REALLY adds a wonderful complement to that record.
Is the review positive or negative?
