just about as good as it gets

An absolute classic. Definitely in my top 5 all-time great jazz albums. Great tunes, great players, and great playing. It's accessible, but also rewards many listens. Joe Henderson's tone is beautiful, and he can be super melodic one moment and impulsive-sounding the next. You should just download it and thank me later, but if you're not sure, download recordame, listen to it carefully 5 or 6 times, and you'll be back for more.

They Say All Music Guide

Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson’s debut as a leader is a particularly strong and historic effort. With major contributions made by trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Butch Warren, and drummer Pete La Roca, Henderson (who already had a strikingly original sound and a viable inside/outside style) performs six generally memorable compositions on this CD reissue. Highlights include the original versions of Dorham’s “Blue Bossa” and Henderson’s “Recorda Me.” It’s highly recommended. – Scott Yanow
