I met Joe Henderson when I organized ("contracted") an ensemble for Terence Blanchard's "Jazz In Film" CD and Joe was one of the soloists. I met him in the lobby of the studio and told him I had heard him the previous year.
The first time through his solo, he played clichés, mostly pentatonic scales; he was teaching himself the changes. The second time, it was pure improvisation. I learned a lot that day.

"I've improved since then," he said.
Very cool. I see that the album was recorded in 1998. Nice to hear that Joe was still working to improve. THANK YOU DAVID
