Joe Henderson & Kenny Drew Trio - Molde Jazz Festival, Norway, August 1968

Before last week's Yo La Tengo show in Boulder, I stumbled into the great Paradise Found record store (none other than Ira the K stumbled in right after me, actually) for a quick browse. Paradise Found has lots of great vinyl, but recently I've been taking advantage of their extremely nicely priced CDs. And I wasn't disappointed this time around — waiting in the bins for me was the eight-disc Joe Henderson: The Milestone Years collection. For $25! Irresistible. Tons of wonderful music, some of it very familiar, some of it very unfamiliar (how had I never heard the amazing Joe Henderson In Japan LP before?!).

So I'm on a bit of Henderson bender now, and I've been enjoying this performance from right around the beginning of Joe's Milestone era, which kicks off with a long, luminous version of Billy Strayhorn's classic "Chelsea Bridge" and leads into an equally expansive "Isotope." Henderson sounds sensitive and inquisitive throughout, always finding interesting places to go, always taking the audience with him. The band is killer, too, with Kenny Drew (piano), Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass) and Albert "Tootie" Heath (drums) providing expert accompaniment.

And hey, it's that same band backing up the mighty Yusef Lateef on this same Norwegian night in 1968. Check out the magnificent melancholy of "The Shadow of Your Smile," Lateef's flute drifting into the aether, coloring your dreams, lighting the dawn.
