Joe Henderon era un saxofonista tenor norteamericano cuya carrera musical duró más de cuarenta años. Empezó a trabajar en Detroit a mediados de los años cincuenta, y después de cumplir el servicio militar se trasladó a Nueva York, donde conoció al saxofonista tenor Junior Cook y al trompetista Kenny Dorham. Aunque al principio solo tocaba hard bop, luego se adentró en el rhythm and blues, la música latina y el avant-garde. En 1964 el pianista Horace Silver lo llamó para fundar su segundo quinteto, con el que participó en Song for My Father (1965) y The Cape Verdean Blues (1966). Luego abandonó a Silver y formó una big band con Dorham.
Joe Henderon was an American tenor saxophonist whose musical career spanned more than forty years. He began working in Detroit in the mid-1950s, and after his military service he moved to New York, where he met tenor saxophonist Junior Cook and trumpeter Kenny Dorham. Although at first he played only hard bop, he later delved into rhythm and blues, Latin music and avant-garde. In 1964 pianist Horace Silver called him to found his second quintet, with which he took part in Song for My Father (1965) and The Cape Verdean Blues (1966). He later left Silver and formed a big band with Dorham.
De 1963 a 1968 Henderson apareció en casi treinta álbums del sello Blue Note, cinco de ellos a su nombre. Después publicó dos álbums con Milestone Records, luego otros dos para el sello Verve, y en 1969 volvió a Milestone hasta 1975. Colaboró con el prestigioso trompetista Freddie Hubbard en sus dos mejores trabajos y experimentó con el jazz fusión. Permaneció como líder durante los años 1980 y se enfocó en reinterpretar estándars y sus propias composiciones anteriores. En 1992 grabó Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn (1993), que fue todo un éxito, seguido de So Near, So Far (Musings for Miles) (1993) y Double Rainbow: The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1995), con lo que se hizo famoso. Murió en el 2001 en San Francisco de un ataque cardíaco a los 64 años de edad.

La introducción la hacen Silver y Jones, y luego se incorporan los demás músicos para exponer el tema. Unos redobles de Jones componen el puente. Silver comienza su solo con ritmo pausado, pero añadiendo secciones más animadas de vez en cuando y pinceladas de blues. A continuación entra Henderson haciendo ruidos extraños con el saxo antes de realizar su solo, que se va haciendo más intenso a medida que avanza. Después Silver toca un suave interludio para dar paso a la reexposición del tema.
The introduction is by Silver and Jones, and then the other musicians join in to lay out the theme. Some rolls by Jones make up the bridge. Silver begins his solo with a slow tempo, but adding more upbeat sections from time to time and bluesy brushstrokes. Henderson then enters making strange noises on the saxophone before taking his solo, which becomes more intense as he goes along. Afterwards Silver plays a gentle interlude to give way to the re-exposition of the theme.
