Music reviews of Joe Henderson - The Milestone Years 8 CD Box Set

Music Review: A must for fans, but handle with care!
Rating: 4 Stars

Take the star rating with a grain of salt; this box contains much of the best and some of the worst Henderson ever. - THE KICKER (Disc 1, tracks 1-8), an excellent recording (although is doesn't match the astounding quality of his best Blue Note albums), is easily surpassed by TETRAGON (Disc 1, tracks 9-14 / Disc 2, track 1) - similar, but more exciting and fully satisfying. - The LIGHTHOUSE concert with Woody Shaw on trumpet (Disc 3) is a revelation. The tunes range from old warhorses like 'Blue Bossa' to the almost-fusion 'If You're Not Part Of The Solution...'; superb playing by all involved, and the omnipresent and somewhat anticlimactic electric piano does no harm to the intensity of most of the music. - The IN JAPAN session (Disc 4, tracks 6-8 / Disc 5, track 1) is even better. The VERY Japanese rhythm section (if you know what I mean) provides for a hard driving background for some of Henderson's most outside and most inspired playing; 'Out 'n In' (the title says it all) and especially the scorching 'Junk Blues' scream for the replay button, and there's an interesting version of 'Round Midnight' which reaches a short climax in the middle of the performance. - On IN PURSUIT OF BLACKNESS (Disc 4, tracks 1-5) Henderson flirts with jazz rock again (he doesn't completely cross the line yet), but his hypnotic solos always make up for the change of pace. - BLACK IS THE COLOR (Disc 5, tracks 2-6) and MULTIPLE (Disc 5, tracks 7-9 / Disc 6, tracks 1-2), both featuring Jack de Johnette on drums, mark the real beginning of Henderson's fusion phase. The tunes are less challenging than before, but Henderson sounds absolutely comfortable with them, adapting his playing to the more simple chord changes (by using many arpeggios) but never really surrendering his familiar style. A glance at commercialization, yes, but, apart from some oddities (like some strange, pseudo-experimental soundscapes on BITC), very listenable and never lacking a spark of genius. - The tracks with Flora Purim (Disc 7, tracks 4-7 / Disc 8, tracks 10-12) are a different matter: If you like this kind of music, you'll love these tunes, but Henderson just acts as a session musician here (one of the highest order, though). - The rest of the program ranges from so-so (CANYON LADY: Disc 6, tracks 3-7) or kind of weird but rewarding (ELEMENTS, the encounter with Alice Coltrane: Disc 6, track 8 / Disc 7, tracks 1-3) to utterly unlistenable (BLACK MIRACLE: Disc 8, tracks 4-9). Henderson is let down by his rhythm sections (which were obviously not selected for their suitability but for marketing reasons) more and more; he's arguably the most adaptable saxophonist around, but even he cannot cope with a situation when he has to (?) play with uninspired or incompatible fellow musicians. - - All in all, about one or two of the CDs are seriously flawed, but the first and better half of the material is nothing short of breathtaking; much of the best stuff can't be found anywhere else, and for me much of the jazz rock was a very pleasant surprise. You'll have to decide by yourself whether you want to invest in a highly priced but somewhat uneven collection like this one, but if you want to hear the real apexes of Joe Henderson's output, it comes close to a necessity, at least for the time being.

Windows ALBUM REVIEWS: Q (12/94, p.165) - 3 Stars - Good - "...[A] fan's dream....The package itself deserves fulsome praise: assiduous remastering, information-packed liner notes and intelligent track selection including influential appearances as a sideman..." Down Beat (12/94, p.60) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "...inspired solo and collective blowing--on hard-bop lines, standard songs, funk vamps, freely intuited forms, diverse East and West Coast and Brazilian themes, nominally political, meditative and/or programmatic suites....Joe's reach stretches out and on..." Vibe (2/95, p.92) - "...The sense of mission, discipline, and passion jazz musicians brought to their work in the '70s is always in evidence..." Jazziz (2/95, p.91) - "...his "overnight success" should have occured 25 years ago..." ALBUM NOTES: Personnel includes: Joe Henderson, Nat Adderley, Lee Konitz, Flora Purim, Herbie Hancock, Alice Coltrane, Woody Shaw, Joe Zawinul, Kenny Barron, George Cables, George Duke, Larry Willis, MIke Lawrence, Ron Carter, Dave Holland, Stanley Clarke, J.F. Jenny Clark, Louis Hayes, Jack DeJohnette, Lenny White, Harvey Mason, Airto, Grachan Moncur, Jeremy Steig, Ichikawa-Inaba-Hino, James "Blood" Ulmer, Luis Gasca, Michael White, Patrick Gleeson, Lee Ritenour, Ernie Watts. Recorded between 1967 and 1976.
This eight-CD package covers the period between 1967 and 1976 when tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson was under contract to Milestone records. Henderson made a dozen records under his own name during this period and appeared on many sessions as a sideman. The 84 tracks culled from the period offer an exhaustive account of Henderson's activities. The compilation begins with the complete sextet session that made up The Kicker, then goes on to cover the pared-down quartet version of the same band that cut Tetragon. Quintet and quartet sides with Herbie Hancock from Power to the People follow. Live material from a sextet featuring Woody Shaw on trumpet, recorded at the Lighthouse, includes some previously unreleased material. "Canyon Lady," "The Elements," "Black Narcissus," and "Black Miracle" complete the Henderson tracks, but he also appears as a sideman on material from The Lee Konitz Duets, Nat Adderley's The Scavenger, and several Flora Purim sessions. --John Swenson
