I remember his Strayhorn album being seen as his comeback (just like how State of the Tenor and One Night with Blue Note were his ‘80s comeback). But the critical response to the two subsequent “songbook” albums was more muted and mixed. It’s nice that, with the passage of time, Joe -- and this album -- gets his due.
Thank you for picking up “Double Rainbow”! This is one of my favorite jazz album, not only great musicians involved. Love bossa-nova touch sound and harmony, especially, Herbie‘s solo on Photograph.
Thanks guys. Loving this new series. And thanks for highlighting this album. Henderson’s Lush Life album from this period is one of my favorite albums and I have slept on this one. Keep up the great work. GALA!
Love all the different content you guys put out and like this new series of zoning in on a particular album and reviewing it. PS: Not sure if you are aware that the great pianist, George Colligan has an album coming out on 31/05/24 and he has aptly titled it: ‘You’ll Hear It’. Sure he has also taken inspiration from you guys! Keep doing what you are doing! 🙏☮️
Killer album too, the nice thing is its got two ensembles, a Brazilian Jazz and an American Jazz one, each honoring the compositions its honest and expressive ways, I gotta say the way they interpreted 'Triste', w/ some reharms and some harmonic rhythm alterations, the solos and the whole 'musical conversation' is really refreshing
Terrific guys! How about the album Legrand Jazz, with arrangements by Michel Legrand? It contains the Kind of Blue band, Ben Webster, Hank Jones, and many other great players.
Thanks guys. I think this would be even better if your categories were weighted with sound, playing, and vibe being weighted heaviest, and things like cover art very lightly weighted
One album I really like by a jazz artist doing bossa (after the craze, e.g. early 60s) is Oscar Peterson's "Motions & Emotions". It's a mix of popular tunes that are bossified. Wave for me is really killer. Great arrangement by Ogerman What do you think? (Btw. Nice seeing you guys last night!)
Peter mentioned being shortlisted for one of the Henderson Verve dates, and that another young pianist got the nod instead. Looking over the albums, there's only one that features a pianist who isn't a legend (Herbie, Chick, Flanagan) or at least mid-to-late career, well-known artist (Eliane Elias, Ronnie Matthews), and that's the "Lush Life" CD that kicked off Henderson's Verve run. So it sounds like Peter can hold a legit grudge against Mr. Stephen Scott! (Unless it was for that one track on "Big Band" with Helio Alves, but seems unlikely.)
nice to go back to this, particularly No More Blues, which just tears it up. have to disagree on cover art at best a 3 -- the bar is set wbar set so high by Reid Miles and Francis Wolf of classic blue. some of the best graphic design anywhere, any time.
Great post, and you once again alerted me to a fabulous album I had overlooked. I love your channel and a paid subscription is likely unavoidable soon. My playing is improving with every session I do with your free videos. THANK YOU. But, I have to disagree on the album art rating for this one. OMG this is a hot mess. It looks like a paper tray-liner at a Taco Bell, advertising Extreme Burrito Combos. Every trend of early computer layout is here - small caps fonts that aren't real small caps fonts (the capitals are just enlarged versions of the lower case characters, so they're fatter than the lower case letter, which makes them too prominent); those splashed, deconstructed graphics; the color grading on the main photo (that "extreme" thing again), and just because we can, why not vignette another gritty black and white photo on top? I'm pretty sure the art director is looking back with a teensy bit of regret - most of us who created these kinds of things are! But… this is an album so good you could have packaged it in a Glad Bag, and it'd still be a masterpiece.
Being a Brazilian that listens to both of you Peter and Adam, I feel so seen and represented. You guys are great, shoutout from this faraway land.

I'm loving this series! Could you review "Oscar Peterson meets Roy Hargrove and Ralph Moore"? I'd love to hear what you think!
Can we talk about Herbie's solo on Triste? Dear Lord it burns. One of my favorites of his on record.
Was about to comment this! I remember first hearing it in my car and saying “what?!?” out loud at about 2/3’s into his solo
Oh, thanks for reminding me of this album. I listened to it a lot when it came out; I sure know what I'll be doing tonight.

Great episode... loved this album on release as it was all over Jazz FM in the UK and perfect in the evening.

This series is so dorky, I love it! My favorite Joe Henderson album for sure. Great lore bits there, thanks!
Thanks for hipping me to this album! I just checked it out on Deezer and instantly saved as a favorite. Really diggin these album centric videos,

I'd love it if we get one of these episodes each week. GALA.

Good stuff, although I preferred So Near So Far, in particular his rendition of Flamenco Sketches.
How about doing one of the sonny clark blue notes? Cool Struttin? sonny deserves more appreciation.
I kinda wish we heard more snippets/examples from the album in the episode. Of course, I'm going to go listen to it now.

I love joe henderson, jobim, and this album
You guys really oughta check out Cisco Swank
And one for George Gershwin as well
This is such a silly series but I've been really enjoying it (Adhered to the Agreement)
admittedly not the most robust scoring system, but so good for discovery
@@Kalaish_Stanley If you were looking for a very series robust podcast with no messing around then I would look somewhere else haha
@@jacklynam5653and this is us TRYING to be serious. 🫠
oscar peterson album?

I've never heard this album in its entirety, and won't during this video, either. If I like the examples, maybe I'll check it out later.
Whoa this is sweet so far
I might have do a whole stream of Jim Beam... er... Joe... Joa... nvm. The clips were like seeing a tropical paradise thru a keyhole.
So absurdly funny, even funnier is how unlikely a Cecil Taylor album will be featured.
Brazilian music is probably second only to American music.
I guess Im down 3 million dollars 😢
Cover Art 😂
