with Joe Henderson on Nov 6, 1997
Joe Henderson (April 24, 1937 - June 30, 2001) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. He played with Horace Silver in 1964-66, and Andrew Hill in 1965, both Blue Note Records artists. In 1963 he got his opportunity to lead his own Blue Note record date, which led to one of his richest recording periods, both as a leader and as a sideman. Examples of popular jazz hits he played on during his Blue Note days were “Song For My Father” with Silver, and Lee Morgan’s tune “The Sidewinder.” During the late-60s he was part of the cooperative band the Jazz Communicators, with Freddie Hubbard and Louis Hayes. Henderson also spent over a year with the Herbie Hancock Sextet (1969-70), and joined the pop band Blood Sweat & Tears for a short time in 1971. Thereafter he worked mainly as a leader and freelance saxophonist.
