Vinyl Mode For Joe

Description

Joe Henderson's 1966 album "Mode For Joe" stands as a pinnacle of his 1960s work. This energetic jazz record showcases Henderson in an expanded septet lineup featuring Lee Morgan on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone, Cedar Walton on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums. Together, they deliver six dynamic performances, including Henderson's originals "A Shade of Jade," "Caribbean Fire Dance," and "Granted," as well as Morgan's "Free Wheelin'." The standout title track by Walton is considered a modal jazz masterpiece.
