Eddie Henderson's Columbia debut places him in the context of a classic series of modern compositions, from Wayne Shorter's modal masterpiece "Prince Of Darkness," and "Footprints," to his read of his mentor Miles Davis' "So What," and "All Blues," and, a pair of Monk numbers, as well "Round Midnight," and "Well, You Needn't." The band assembled for this date is more than up to the challenge. Drummers Billy Hart and Victor Lewis, pianist Dave Kikoski, bassist Ed Howard, and the inimitable Bob Berg on tenor, accompany Henderson's trumpet and flugelhorn with requisite heat and polish. Henderson's arrangements work better on the more adventurous tunes: on the Shorter and Miles cuts, Henderson's more aggressive and looser, allowing his band to stretch those tunes to the margins. His ultra-modernization of "On Green Dolphin Street," sounds like he's trying to update Miles' particular read of the composition, rather than just take a new look at it for its own merit. He does likewise with "Someday My Prince Will Come," and D.L. Hill's "Old Folks." He turns in stellar versions of the Monk tunes, with interesting and angular rhythmic turns in them along the changes. This is a solid date for Henderson, who doesn't record nearly often enough.

Eddie Henderson
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Oct 26, 1940 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Fusion, Post-Bop
Eddie Henderson was one of the few trumpeters who was strongly influenced by Miles Davis' work of his early fusion period. He grew up in San Francisco, studied trumpet at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, but was trained to be a doctor when he permanently chose music. Henderson worked with John Handy, Tyrone Washington, and Joe Henderson, in addition to his own group. He gained some recognition for his work with the Herbie Hancock Sextet (1970-1973), although his own records (which utilized electronics) tended to be commercial. After Hancock broke up his group, Henderson worked with Art Blakey and Mike Nock, recorded with Charles Earland, and later, in the 1970s, led a rock-oriented group. In the '90s, he returned to playing acoustic hard bop (touring with Billy Harper in 1991) while also working as a psychiatrist.
