Georg Wadenius music CDs. Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews, Mitchell Feldman and Joe Henderson. Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1998, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). This two-albums-on-one-CD set captures the tenor master at an interesting juncture, both in his own artistic development and jazz in general. The collection draws from three recording sessions, spanning 1970-72. Henderson's music honestly reflected what was happening with the different factions shaping jazz in that era: the avant garde, the blossoming of fusion and the influence of the post-bop mainstream. He also synthesizes an awareness of jazz's African roots and the growing use of electric and electronic instruments and overdubbing (which most of the mainstream jazz audience of the time thought was heresy). The music on this album ranges from straight-ahead standards ("Invitation," with fine playing from Shaw) and driving, quirky hard bop ("A Shade of Jade") to free-form space-exploring soundscapes ("Current Events"). The playing from all the participants is uniformly fine, especially Cables and Henderson, whose tenor style draws influence from Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz and John Coltrane, but maintains its own sound. Highly recommended to any serious, open-minded jazz fan.
