Bill Henderson

Born:

"I was born to sing," proclaims William "Bill" Randall Henderson, a Chicago native who came into the world on March 19, 1926-and that he has! Bill is a virtuoso performer whose heart is a vault filled with a wide range of music expressions waiting for the song of release. He has already put his personal stamp on many wonderful works of great composers and lyricists of popular music. Those who have heard him on record or in concert can attest to his marvelous genius. Bill Henderson has spent many years cultivating and honing two distinctly separate yet complementary careers in music and film

Timeless All Stars: At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall: Hamburg 1982

Read "At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall: Hamburg 1982" reviewed by Chris May

Harold Land: A New Shade Of Blue

Read "A New Shade Of Blue" reviewed by Chris May

Read "Horace Silver: Six Pieces of Silver – Blue Note 1539" reviewed by Marc Davis


Yep, this is the “Senor Blues" album. That's not the name, obviously, but it could be. This outstanding hard bop CD, recorded by Horace Silver's quintet in 1956, has 10 tracks, and three of them are “Senor Blues." No wonder. It's arguably the best track in the collection--a Spanish-tinged slow blues toe-tapper. Even so, ...
