Down Beat Magazine – March 1992 – Joe Henderson “Tenor Influence of Our Time” Cover
This vintage issue of Down Beat Magazine features legendary tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, celebrated as one of the most distinctive voices of his generation. In The Sound That Launched a 1,000 Horns, Michael Bourne explores Henderson’s enduring influence, his new major-label release, and his inspirations—from Billy Strayhorn and young jazz talent to literature and spirituality.
Other features include Howard Mandel’s conversation with the Bill Frisell Band in the wake of Where in the World?, Bill Milkowski’s dramatic story of drummer Bobby Previte’s Moscow escape during a military coup, and David Whiteis’ profile of guitarist Ronnie Earl, chronicling his journey to sobriety and renewed creativity.
Departments include a wide-ranging set of record and CD reviews (covering Bobby McFerrin & Chick Corea, Wallace Roney, Jack DeJohnette, Joe Henderson’s Mr. Low Blow, John Coltrane, Art Tatum, and more), a Blindfold Test with Jack Walrath, and live coverage of Vernon Reid/Melvin Gibbs/Will Calhoun and the L.A. Jazz Party. Also featured are a tenor saxophone transcription of Ben Webster’s solo on Cotton Tail, an archival look at Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and the Auditions section spotlighting young musicians.
