SORRY FELLAS

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Man, I hate to give a Joe Henderson acoustic quartet session only 3 stars but this one is a bit of a drag. After hearing RELAXIN' AT CAMARILLO also with Chick Corea on piano this one disappoints. It is down tempoed too much with waltz-like tunes and a ballad. Joe's Bolero seems a bit over latinized. Only on the last tune do we get a straight-up up-tempoed swinger. Maybe you can use this to cool off with after listening to JOE HENDERSON BIG BAND.--Hey,don't forget drummer Pete La Roca's Blue Note quartet session BASRA which could pass for a Joe Henderson quartet date. You must know about Joe's classic quartet date INNER URGE by now."
