The lovely Ms Spalding left her basses at home for this one. I like it.

Good evening. Thank you so much for the reminder to go pull this cd from the shelf. I respect a number of recordings from this period, and think they are quite lively. Played this recording after Blue Interlude. Joe Henderson makes the proceedings worth a listen. Wonderful to experience a mature player among young lions.

Circa 1970, Joe was at his best.
Elegant, masterful playing by Joe Pass, with Eberhard Weber–bass, Kenny Clare–drums.
And the sound quality is delicious; instrument placement, sound stage depth is as good as it gets.
