Price:
¥5,170

Description

Joe Henderson, who had made a name for himself with his Blue Note albums, was based at Milestone from the late 1960s onward, releasing a series of albums that pushed blackness to the forefront. In the summer of 1971, Joe Henderson visited Japan by himself and delighted Japanese audiences. One of the climaxes of his visit was a five-day concert series at Junk in Ginza, Tokyo. Henderson's Habiliment” is a record of that night. The powerful, emotionally rich, and lustrous playing is a masterpiece. The Japanese musicians who performed with him, Hideo Ichikawa, Kunimitsu Inaba, and Motohiko Hino, also showed their sharpness. Starting with “Junk Blues,” which even has a terrible taste, followed by the blaring “'Round About Midnight,” the deeper “Blue Bossa,” and the hip and beautiful “Black Narcissus,” which was not included on the American version of “In Japan,” the performance was so rich and full that it tore at the seams.
