Outside of Bill Hardman and maybe Julian Priester, who else were the main stays in the Messengers at this time? I believe Ronnie Mathews palyed piano, but he was replaced by the first woman messenger, Joanne Brackeen by 1970 or even earlier. Was Lawrence Eveans on bass around this time?
There's not much studio work from the band at this time.

Sound-quality is a couple notches above "it sucks", but the music is truely wonderful. VERY modal, and very hard-driving. Two long cuts, about 20-minutes each.

Don't pay a mint for it, but I think it's well worth standard "new CD" prices.

Again, warning, the sound-quality is not very good. But the music definitely rises above it -- or at least it did for me. Woody's on fire!!!!! wub.gif

A Joe Henderson one has been created using BRIAN but it is not on the web yet. Did you have a specific question?

Wow!! excited.gif No specific question from me. Just a burning desire to see the thing.

Any plans to "publish" it via your website?? And any estimate as to when that might be??

Thanks a bunch!!!
Michael Fitzgerald
There are no plans to put it online as of now. It definitely needs some editing. I did not compile it.

Any BRIAN user is welcome to what I myself have entered for Joe Henderson - just about all of his 1960s appearances, the Milestone box, plus various others.

I came across two private recordings someone gave me a copy of. I'm trying to figure out the sidemen and a couple of the tunes. The dates are 11/27/86 at Bradley's in NYC and 7/23/93 at San Remo, Italy. I have the musicians figured out but not the set list.h

I think Spontoonious has this disc (the '86 live recording), which I think is legit (or at least semi-legit??).
    Henderson, Joe; 11/27/86; Bradley’s, San Francisco, CA; 42 min; "A-" sound-quality; audience recording; Joe Henderson (ts), Renee Rosnes (p), Marlene Rosenberg (b), Sylvia Cuenca (d). Issued on Arco CD: 104 – Punjab. (Joe's semi-famous, but little recorded "all girl band" -- no slight intended.)
Also, FWIW, I tried to find the other date (7/23/93, Italy), to help ID the sidemen. But it didn't appear in the various trade-lists I've seen from people over the years, or at least not that I can find.
Michael Fitzgerald
Full details of the 1986 recording are in my Renee Rosnes discography. It has been suggested that this is not from any club named Bradley's at all, but rather from Europe. Further research is necessary.

why do u think joe had a band of all chicks, did it just happen that way or was he trying to make some statement
mikeweil
IIRC he wanted to make a statement for women in jazz - I saw that n+band with Rosnes, Cuenca and Kim Clarke on bass - excellent players all.

Does that mean that she has to play more Canadian notes to get the same value as American ones?

No. But she does if she wants to get played on the CBC. greengrin.gif
