Joe Henderson

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Milestone  1969 / 2007

Notes: The thing about Joe Henderson is, you can never get anybody to say anything bad about him.  maybe that's a problem: if he annoyed or angered or upset people, they'd write more about him, and then others would listen.

James Williams and ICU

TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE BLUES

Evidence  1996

Notes : While James Williams calls his Intensive Care Unit "a Jazz-Gospel ensemble, for lack of a better description," its blend of the sacred and the secular and its use of both lyrics and wordless vocals place the pianist's latest project in the beyond-category realm of such immortals as Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams.
