Eddie Henderson's Columbia debut places him in the context of a classic series of modern compositions, from Wayne Shorter's modal masterpiece "Prince Of Darkness," and "Footprints," to his read of his mentor Miles Davis' "So What," and "All Blues," and, a pair of Monk numbers, as well "Round Midnight," and "Well, You Needn't." The band assembled for this date is more than up to the challenge. Drummers Billy Hart and Victor Lewis, pianist Dave Kikoski, bassist Ed Howard, and the inimitable Bob Berg on tenor, accompany Henderson's trumpet and flugelhorn with requisite heat and polish. Henderson's arrangements work better on the more adventurous tunes: on the Shorter and Miles cuts, Henderson's more aggressive and looser, allowing his band to stretch those tunes to the margins. His ultra-modernization of "On Green Dolphin Street," sounds like he's trying to update Miles' particular read of the composition, rather than just take a new look at it for its own merit. He does likewise with "Someday My Prince Will Come," and D.L. Hill's "Old Folks." He turns in stellar versions of the Monk tunes, with interesting and angular rhythmic turns in them along the changes. This is a solid date for Henderson, who doesn't record nearly often enough.

·       CONDITION:

·       THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The album comes with the original Japanese-only insert/lyrics sheet still intact.

(c)           The record is STILL in its original inner, hi-grade PVC inner sleeve, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years!

(d)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, high-quality, virgin-grade vinyl, which is usually used for audiophile, extended-dynamic-range, half-speed mastered and connoisseur pressings.

(e)             In addition, the record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

COVER IS STRONG NEAR MINT,  STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP  (JAPANESE PVC BAGGY WITH A RESEALABLE FLAP)

NO SIGNIFICANT FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
