Release Notes:
In general, Joe Henderson's take on Porgy and Bess
meets the high standards of his latter-day records
for Verve. Working with arranger Bob Belden and a
wonderful combo -- including guitarist John
Scofield, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Dave
Holland, drummer Jack DeJohnette, trombonist Conrad
Herwig and vibraphonist Stefon Harris -- Henderson
brings Gershwin's music to life with subtle beauty
and grace. Furthermore, he demonstrates his
uniqueness -- Henderson's Porgy and Bess may share
the same source as Miles Davis' legendary Porgy and
Bess, yet it has an original sound, relying less on
orchestration than that classic. While this disc is
not flawless -- instead of enhancing the music,
guest spots from vocalists Chaka Khan and Sting
actually stop the momentum, calling attention to
themselves -- it nevertheless is another valuable
addition to Henderson's catalog.
