Joe Henderson/Mode For Joe(Blue Note, 1966)
This is Joe Henderson's masterpiece, featuring a gorgeous trio of horns with Lee Morgan and Curtis Fuller, and even Bobby Hutcherson, the image maker of the new mainstream of the 60s.
Apart from Miles Davis and John Coltrane, this kind of playing was the central presence of the 60s.
Joe Henderson's passion and Hutcherson's cool touch are skillfully combined.
But I think I like Lee Morgan's trumpet the best.
