by Angelo Leonardi
La pubblicazione dell'inedito concerto di Joe Henderson al Jazz Showcase di Chicago nel 1978, è un'altra scoperta magistrale della Resonance Records.

by C. Andrew Hovan
Especially among those who knew him well, Joe Henderson was a true Renaissance man. Born into a large family in Lima, Ohio, he made his way to New York City by way of Detroit--a fertile proving ground for jazz musicians in the 1950s and '60s. While studying at Wayne State University, he counted Donald Byrd, Barry Harris, and Yusef Lateef among his collaborators. His brother, Leon Henderson, also left a small mark on the Detroit scene through his work with ...

Some live recordings capture a set. Others capture a feeling. Joe Henderson's Consonance: Live At The Jazz Showcase, Resonance Records' newly discovered limited edition 3LP Record Store Day release, followed shortly by a 2CD version, is more than just another archival find. It feels vibrant from the very first notes, reminding us how Henderson could turn a club date into a lively conversation.

by Jack Kenny
McCoy Tyner's New York Reunion is a fine example of late-period recording, presenting the jazz masters in a quartet setting that draws deeply on tradition while brimming with contemporary energy. Originally released in 1991 on Chesky Records, the album features Tyner at the piano alongside three equally distinguished collaborators: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone), Ron Carter (bass) and Al Foster (drums).
