Arkadia Jazz Presents: Thank You Joe!

Thank You, Joe (also available as a MP3 download) creates a memorable tribute to Joe Henderson, one of Jazz music’s greatest tenor saxophonists & composers. We at Arkadia Jazz feel it is important to honor the legacy of some of Jazz’s greats. For our Thank You series of musical homages, we asked our artists go into the studio and record an all new, previously unreleased song either derived from or influenced by the enduring legacy Jazz’s royalty. In this case, we honor tenor saxophone legend Joe Henderson.

Eric Reed, Carl Allen, Rodney Whitaker, Javon Jackson, Terrell Stafford, Randy Brecker, & Steve Nelson', with a special appearance by Arkadia Jazz recording artist & Henderson’s former longtime pianist Joanne Brackeen, interpret some of the songs that typify the Henderson sound and spirit in their own unique style and manner, creating a showcase of both Henderson’s music and the influence he left behind.
