About
Joe Henderson's tenor sax solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, following Kenny Garrett's alto sax and followed by Kenny Kirkland on piano. Spanning three choruses of the 32-bar AA' form at a bright 279 BPM with a swing feel in E, the solo runs approximately 1:12. Henderson matches him with three equally commanding tenor saxophone choruses, his trademark harmonic ambiguity adding textural depth. "Tacit Dance" opens Kenny Garrett's 1992 album Black Hope with a statement of intent, pairing the alto saxophonist with tenor giant Joe Henderson in one of the most formidable saxophone summits of the era. Joe Henderson was 54 to 55 years old at the time of this 1992 recording.
