>>Just in case you don't know, one time Detroit resident Joe Henderson (whose

>>widely recognised one, Henderson had a very distinctive tone and cut several

>>Anyway, a legend. If you don't know him, certainly check "Mode For Joe"
>>which is his, and perhaps Blue Note's, best album; "In 'N Out" with the

>>Morgan, Andrew Hill...
