Joe Henderson
Tenor Sax Solo on
The Siderwinder

About

Joe Henderson's tenor sax solo is the 2nd of 4 on this recording, following Lee Morgan's trumpet and followed by Barry Harris on piano. Spanning three choruses of the 24-Bar form at a moderate 155 BPM with a funk feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:53. Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson follows with three exploratory choruses that bring a more angular, modernist sensibility to the groove. "The Sidewinder" is one of the most commercially successful recordings in Blue Note Records history, the title track from Lee Morgan's 1963 album. Joe Henderson was 25 to 26 years old at the time of this 1963 recording.
