It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Joe Henderson energies, virtually a rebirth. Since Joe Henderson last CD (Double Rainbow) on EMI Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. John Digester has compared writing for Joe Henderson’s new album to that on ‘Double Rainbow’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. If you want to hear real Jazz, get this record now!
This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Boto makes a person feel perfect. When I listen to Ligia in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Double Rainbow. Triste is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Portrait in Black & White (AKA Zingaro) marked the continuation of Joe Henderson in style evolution. No More Blues (Chega De Saudade) presents the astounding mix of instruments on Double Rainbow. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Passarim is a strong cut, one of many. Modinha is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart.
