Joe Henderson's 75th Birthday concert at Lincoln Center

[Hardbopjazz]

I caught the first set for this concert tonight. What a stella band.

It was sad seeing Bobby Hutcherson walk around with an oxygen tank. He really didn't have that much strength. He sad down a lot while playing.

Too bad Joe Henderson died too early.

He was one of my favourites. I saw him live on several occasions in the late 70´s. Mostly with Joanne Brackeen on piano, dont remember the bassist and the drummer, but he was fantastic. I still listen to his records almost every week. Didn´t know it would have been his 75th Birthday, but on the same evening I listened to his "Inner Urge". I´d say that´s telepathy

no, he does not. he has emphysema.

As Valerie said, I think it's "only" emphysema.

When the SFJazz Center opens in January, one night of the opening week will be Spotlight: Bobby Hutcherson Birthday Celebration

I have tickets already. Should be an amazing night.
