Joe Henderson
Tenor Sax Solo on
Out Of The Night

About

Joe Henderson's tenor sax solo is the second of 4 solos on this recording, following Kenny Dorham's trumpet and followed by McCoy Tyner on piano. Spanning five choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a moderate 122 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 2:01. The track showcases the extraordinary rhythm section that Blue Note assembled for Henderson's debut, with Tyner, Warren, and drummer Pete LaRoca providing a foundation of rhythmic authority and harmonic sensitivity that elevated every performance on the session. Joe Henderson was 25 to 26 years old at the time of this 1963 recording.
