    Joe's albums with Kenny Dorham are classic.

    >>Just in case you don't know, one time Detroit resident Joe Henderson (whose
    >>various albums and appearances on Blue Note I have eulogised on these lists
    >>before, no doubt) has reportedly passed away. More of cult figure than a
    >>widely recognised one, Henderson had a very distinctive tone and cut several
    >>superb albums for Blue Note in the 60s and Milestone in the 70s. He forged
    >>his own (often very modal) path somewhere between hard bop and Coltrane,
    >>latterly using electronics to make some fantastically innovative albums
    >>which never really got the acclaim they deserved at the time.
    >>
    >>Anyway, a legend. If you don't know him, certainly check "Mode For Joe"
    >>which is his, and perhaps Blue Note's, best album; "In 'N Out" with the
    >>excellent Kenny Dorham tune "Punjab"; "Power To The People" with the chilled
    >>"Black Narcissus" or the fantastic "Elements" with Alice Coltrane and
    >>contender for best bass player ever - Charlie Haden, as well as numerous
    >>performances on albums by Horace Silver, Patrice Rushen, Pete La Roca, Lee
    >>Morgan, Andrew Hill...
