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.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

In the late 1960s a new style of jazz emerged that was not an extension of hard bop or free jazz. For a brief seven or eight years - after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968 and the beginning of fusion in the mid-1970s - a new expression of black power appeared, wrapped in pan-Africanism in the works of black journalists, books on blackness by black intellectuals, folk paintings by black artists, and music by black jazz artists.

During these years, the music of a growing number of prominent jazz musicians embraced African culture and the idealism of African countries newly liberated from colonialism. The list of artists included Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Jack DeJohnette, Larry Willis, Bennie Maupin and many others.

Among them was Joe Henderson, whose album Power to the People (Milestone) was and remains a landmark. Recorded in May 1969, the album featured Mike Lawrence (tp), Joe Henderson (ts), Herbie Hancock (p,el-p), Ron Carter (b,el-b) and Jack DeJohnette (d).

A finales de la década de 1960 surgió un nuevo estilo de jazz que no era una extensión del hard bop ni del free jazz. Durante unos breves siete u ocho años -tras el asesinato de Martin Luther King Jr. en abril de 1968 y el inicio de la fusión a mediados de los setenta- apareció una nueva expresión de poder negro envuelta en el panafricanismo en las obras de periodistas negros, los libros sobre la condición negra de intelectuales negros, las pinturas folclóricas de artistas negros y la música de artistas de jazz negros.

Durante estos años, la música de un número creciente de destacados músicos de jazz abrazó la cultura africana y el idealismo de los países africanos recién liberados del colonialismo. La lista de artistas incluía a Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Jack DeJohnette, Larry Willis, Bennie Maupin y muchos otro

Entre ellos estaba Joe Henderson, cuyo álbum Power to the People (Milestone) fue y sigue siendo un hito. Grabado en mayo de 1969, el álbum incluía a Mike Lawrence (tp), Joe Henderson (ts), Herbie Hancock (p,el-p), Ron Carter (b,el-b) y Jack DeJohnette (d).
