Joe Henderson
Tenor Sax Solo on
Computer "G"

About

Joe Henderson's tenor sax solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Kenny Garrett on alto sax. Spanning fourteen choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at an up-tempo 218 BPM with a swing feel in F, the solo runs approximately 2:59. Henderson leads off with a mammoth fourteen-chorus solo that builds from spare, probing phrases to full-throated intensity, demonstrating why he remained one of the most formidable improvisers in jazz decades into his career. "Computer 'G'" is a hard-swinging blues in F from Kenny Garrett's 1992 album Black Hope, featuring a historic pairing of Garrett on alto saxophone with Joe Henderson on tenor. Joe Henderson was 54 to 55 years old at the time of this 1992 recording.
