Jazz saxophonist and composer Joe Henderson could best be described as a renaissance man. Creating a style unique from the dominant saxophonists of his early career -namely John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins - Henderson became the consummate leader and sideman. His name has become synonymous with power and grace on the tenor saxophone, and has long been revered in musical circles for his distinctive sound and powers of invention. Although Henderson’s earliest recordings were marked by a strong hard-bop influence, his playing encompassed not only the bebop tradition, but rhythm and blues, latin, and avant-garde as well.
Henderson has had a remarkably consistent career, carving out his own reputation through technical excellence, songwriting ability, and a stunning diversity that made him a sought-after sideman early in his career. He made his mark at Blue Note records as a member of the Kenny Dorham band and went on to record with the Horace Silver group that made the classic Song for My Father. A master of composition, his songs “Recorda- Me” and “Inner Urge” have become jazz classics.
From 1963 to 1968 Joe appeared on nearly thirty albums for Blue Note. The recordings ranged from relatively conservative hard-bop sessions to more avant-garde explorations. He played a prominent role in many landmark recordings: Horace Silver’s swinging and soulful Song For My Father, Herbie Hancock’s dark and densely orchestrated Prisoner, and Andrew Hill’s avant-garde Black Fire. Henderson’s adaptability and eclecticism would become even more apparent in the years to follow.
Henderson’s playing has a distinctively tender sense of swing, which can be heard on dozens of Blue Note albums from the 1960s. Often overlooked at the peak of his career, he returned to recording in the 1980s to great acclaim.
After a long battle with emphysema and a stroke in 1998 which stopped his public career, Joe Henderson passed away on June 30, 2001, leaving a legacy and career that spanned for over four decades and a permanent prototype for others to follow.
“Joe Henderson is always in the middle of a great solo.”

Saw him in Toronto before he passed. Small in stature but had a huge sound. He is one of the most inventive and dynamic saxophone players ever. A true master.

Joe is one of my favorite tenor saxophone players of all time rip Joe nobody around to fill your shoes
Saw Mr Henderson first in Göttingen, Germany, 1977, with Rick Laird. I will never forget him.
I heard JH back in 1971 at a jazz club in Berkeley. It was called Mandrakes. Joe was unbelievable, weaving up and down around the microphone. Bad ass player!! He also had Bobby Hutcherson on the vibes (who I talked to at the restaurant that was next door). Cool time :)
Joe could easily be the “last original cat”, it’s great to hear him!

Well, We still have Sonny Rollings with us. That will be the last original cat from that era and another killer. My opinion
Joe was simply amazing. So glad I got to hear him live and have a conversation with him.

What did you talk about?
I saw Joe many times live. He would go next level on every tune! That said, this is wonderful….one of the masters of the saxophone universe!
Mode for Joe did it for me. He is insane on that album. A madman. Gotta love it!
Hard to say which is my favourite but if I had to choose I'd say #5 and #6.
I love his Power to the People album - and a lot else!
can't get enough
He went “genius mode” much more than 7 times.
Joe is the best
Great! Thanks Well since you've asked you could have added dozens of great solos ofcourse but the one duo he did with Oscar Castro Neves once i loved is sublime
At 40+ years into the jazz thing I'll proclaim Joe Henderson as vital to anyone's understanding of the music. In the early 1980's I spoke with him at Lush Life down on Bleeker Street, he for some reason was intent on talking and it was fascinating. Now in 2021 with societies laid waste by the stupidity of men, I will turn my attention to the messages left here by Joe Henderson for us to learn.

Infantile way of quantifying art as if it’s competitive sport. Like splicing together great wide receivers’ best touchdowns. Grow up. Or not
Every time I hear the bogus and cringe worthy claim that Michael Brecker is the greatest saxophone player that ever lived, the first person I think of is Joe Henderson, whose influence on a generation of players - including MB - is not stated nearly enough.
I love how Joe plays some crazy "throwing paint on a canvas" stuff, then immediately follows it up with the most inside diatonic lick. I remember going through a period of transcribing my favorite Joe solos and discovering that that's what he does all the time. To my ears, the inside lines create a framework and "ground" everything after he's played some totally crazy shit.

Yeah I like what he does in McCoy Tyner's Passion Dance from 4:54 to 5:05(not in this video). He does the thing that you said- playing really out and then following it up with a diatonic line. It goes: (Really outside part) DaDUH dadaDUH dadadadaduhDUH duhdadeedaduh... deedaduh... deedaduh... deeda........dalalalDA DUHduhdeeduh deedaduh...deedaduh...deedaduh...da.

Henderson was one of the greatest in my opinion. He deserve a lot more credit for his contribution and music.
who can dislike this ??? What a genius of Modern Music !!!!
As much of a freak that I am for Michael Brecker, no Joe Henderson, no Michael Brecker. Joe's impact on jazz history as an improvisor and composer was huge.
In those Blue Notes years, everybody wanted Mo Jo in their sessions!! Thanks bernie!! And Blue Note.... Clearly a genius, and everyone on the scene appreciated him... Jazz is!!!

There's a special place in my heart for this man. I feel like I grew up with him, having fallen in love with his sound soon after I discovered jazz in the mid-late '70's. I cherish my memories of seeing Joe locally in the San Francisco bay area a number of times, and the brief hellos and short you're-sounding-great-tonight-Joe intermission and post-show chats. He was very friendly. His two solos on Inner Urge are, to this day, among the very best recorded tenor sax solos of all time.

Robert Mayer completely agree! the solos on inner urge are something from another world. Every single week I listen to them and they never get old, quite the opposite.
Joe Henderson and Hank Mobley also Harold Floyd "Tina " Brooks top shelf composers, arrangers and Tenor saxophonists in my mind.

When in 1984 Michael told a class of students that he had had a few lessons from Joe, I took it with a "grain of salt". Here the proof is in the listening; certainly, I can hear flashes of Michael - rather of Joe (lgh) Joe is on fire

Hard to recommend only a few, but definitely you'd need in your collection Inner Urge (not only my favorite of Joe's but McCoy Tyner also shines; essentially the Coltrane Quartet behind Joe) and Page One (his first as a leader, with Kenny Dorham also playing beautifully; lots of his classic tunes on this). I've always been partial to In Pursuit of Blackness as one of his best live albums (with a young Stan Clarke, and includes a hot version of Recorda-me (from Page One) under a different name, No Me Esqueca). These are my personal favorites out of about 10 albums (which are all great).
