INNER URGE

Don’t get me wrong; I love Joe Henderson, but man, this tune seems designed to confirm the uninitiated’s worst pre-conceptions about jazz: angular, dissonant melody; an impenetrable chord structure; solos that just go on until everything starts to sound the same.

Sheesh, 12 minutes of this, and even I’d be ready for some Kenny G.

Okay, maybe some Kenny Kirkland instead.
