from Pete La Roca's classic Blue Note album "Basra".
Recorded on May 19, 1965 by Rudy Van Gelder at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
Produced by Alfred Lion.
Remastered in 2004 by Rudy Van Gelder.
JOE HENDERSON, tenor sax
STEVE KUHN, piano
STEVE SWALLOW, bass
PETE LA ROCA, drums
Lazy Afternoon [J. Latouche - J. Moross]
"The very expressive 'Lazy Afternoon' by Jerome Moross is the ballad of the date, one of La Roca's favorites by way of explaining its inclusion. It too, does not use a wide harmonic area but its arresting beauty is not in need of searching far. Joe emulates an alto flute in his entrance and gives a sensitive interpretation, in keeping with the song's mood, aided strongly by Kuhn, who weaves in and out of the piece's fabric and takes a reflective solo."
- Ira Gitler, original liner notes

@Swaggs303 I now understand you are a rhythm section guy-I personally love the saxophone and the ability of the great ones to express emotion but rhythm section is an essential part -will keep my eyes out for stuff I think you'd like and gladly pass it on-
-
@innervisions69 no please do go on. i checked out the others (couldnt find 'the real mccoy' or ') but werent for me. think one of the things like about this song is its not orientated or influenced towards or by any particular instrument...they all have their path and overlap/compliment. not a great horns fan so like the bass drums piano sliding through .. . but keep em coming dude :)

@Swaggs303 I'll stick to Blue Note-try McCoy Tyner's The Real McCoy; Freddie Hubbard-Blue Spirits; Booker Ervin-The In Between; Lee Morgan-Search For the New Land; Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage; Wayne Shorter-Schizophrenia and Speak No Evil; Andrew Hill-Point of Deparure-I could go on

A classic -Joe Henderson amazingly soulful as usual-who could have known that Basra would be in the headlines
-

Musically, Pete's version is the best I've heard yet, BUT
Once you've heard Morgana King's version,
arranged exquisetly by Torrie Zito,
(Taste of Honey Album) ALL others will fall to 2'nd place. ~ Try it !
