All About Jazz loyalists will most certainly recall the excitement that accompanied the manic energy of the not-too-distant Blue Note release of Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs (2024), pitting saxophonist Joe Henderson and McCoy Tyner onstage in the Bronx in 1966. There is a great deal of that same joie de vivre captured here on Consonance: Live at the Jazz Showcase, Resonance's first release from the Jazz Showcase archive Twelve years down the line, Henderson ...

Resonance Records issues this performance as a limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP set and as a CD. Few figures in modern jazz carry the quiet gravity of Waldron. Emerging from the fertile NYC jazz ...

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. Henderson is a gravitational force here, with his tenor's sound that is warm, muscular, slightly ...
