This exciting set includes 15 of the most-played jazz songs of the 60s and 70s by the legendary jazz giant Joe Henderson.

Joe was arguably one of Jazz's last great innovators and, certainly, one of its premier composers of the 60s and 70s with famous hits such as Inner Urge and Recorda Me. As much of jazz followed Miles to the heralded "cool" school, Joe lead the way to a new sound full of fire and energy based on solid post-bop traditions. Here is a great article about Joe, his style, and his harmony from artist and Aebersold author Bobby Stern. You can also here Bobby play-along with the title track: Joe Henderson Tribute.

While Joe is not often associated with Jazz Education, many "happy campers" will remember him as a teacher and performer at the Aebersold workshops in the 1970s and 80s Summer Jazz Workshops.
