Sound quality is indeed okay on this one. I bought this the first time around and Vol. 2 soon after and think it is one of Joe's best efforts. (I had hoped Blue Note would sign him, why in all the world didn't they keep him?)

I take this as an opportunity to make a statement outside of the Tyrone Washington/Joe Henderson thread, that Joe really played his very best in sharp company and challenging and/or new evironments - that's way the Verve tribute CDs were so successful. In live situations he had very good rhythm sections, often young players, but in the company of such giants as Ron Carter and Al Foster he gave his very best. And this is the case with all of the recordings I personally rank among his best, including the Andrew Hill Black Fire date, some of the sessions with Kenny Dorham, some of the Milestones, the Miroslav Vitous Infinite Search.
