It had been quite awhile since his classic INNER URGE session for Blue Note,but after a stint with Milestone playing all sorts of stuff, Joe effectively recaptures the simple strong acoustic quartet groove. The rythm section is lead by Chick Corea. Dig Joe with acoustic Chick-LIVE IN MONTREUX (1981) Good sound quality and 70 mins of good jazz.---- Lesser know Joe Henderson sideman dates for 60's Blue Note where he is the only horn player are drummer Pete La Roca's BASRA which could pass for a Joe Henderson quartet date, Bobby Hutcherson's STICK-UP and THE KICKER, and Grant Green's IDLE MOMENTS. Then there's Grant Greens SOLID where Joe and altoist James Spauding solo strongly.

Joe in his good mood is receiving a packet in velvet and lace, indigo-blue and tomato-red. Gets in the vanes and the bones, gets in, good for relaxing, working, cardriving and...saying it to someone.., it all is there, yeaH !

like its title, this album is really the one to listen to if you want to relax. joe henderson's version of my one and only love is simply beautiful and the rest of the album are just equally great.
