The only difference between this "Rudy Van Gelder Edition" of Joe Henderson's classic 1966 Mode for Joe album, which starred Lee Morgan, Bobby Hutcherson, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, Ron Carter, and Joe Chambers, and the previous version is the sound -- and while there is no doubt that the great Van Gelder reengineered these, the sonic differences are minimal at best. Trackwise, the bonus version of "Black" has been placed at the bottom end of the record instead of as an alternate in the middle. But these differences are so very subtle that they do not warrant another purchase of this album by the faithful. In fact, for the most part, this series is just a very thinly veiled attempt by Blue Note to get fans to shell out money for something they already have. If you are not an audiophile with finely trained ears, do not bother. The high rating this title deserves is for the amazing music contained therein -- check "Caribbean Fire Dance" and the title track, which are worth the purchase price alone.

Joe Henderson is proof that jazz can sell without watering down the music; it just takes creative marketing. Although his sound and style were virtually unchanged from the mid-'60s, Joe Henderson's signing with Verve in 1992 was treated as a major news event by the label (even though he had already recorded many memorable sessions for other companies). His Verve recordings had easy-to-market themes (tributes to Billy Strayhorn, Miles Davis, and Antonio Carlos Jobim) and, as a result, he became a national celebrity and a constant poll winner while still sounding the same as when he was in obscurity in the 1970s.
The general feeling is that it couldn't have happened to a more deserving jazz musician. After studying at Kentucky State College and Wayne State University, Joe Henderson played locally in Detroit before spending time in the military (1960-1962). He played briefly with Jack McDuff and then gained recognition for his work with Kenny Dorham (1962-1963), a veteran bop trumpeter who championed him and helped Henderson get signed to Blue Note. Henderson appeared on many Blue Note sessions both as a leader and as a sideman, spent 1964-1966 with Horace Silver's Quintet, and during 1969-1970 was in Herbie Hancock's band. From the start, he had a very distinctive sound and style which, although influenced a bit by both Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane, also contained a lot of brand new phrases and ideas. Henderson had long been able to improvise in both inside and outside settings, from hard bop to freeform. In the 1970s, he recorded frequently for Milestone and lived in San Francisco, but was somewhat taken for granted. The second half of the 1980s found him continuing his freelancing and teaching while recording for Blue Note, but it was when he hooked up with Verve that he suddenly became famous. Virtually all of his recordings are currently in print on CD, including a massive collection of his neglected (but generally rewarding) Milestone dates. On June 30, 2001, Joe Henderson passed away due to heart failure after a long battle with emphysema.
