He was 64 and lived in San Francisco. The cause was heart failure after a long struggle with emphysema, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Henderson was unmistakably modern. "Joe had one foot in the present, the other in the future, and he was just a step away from immortality," said the saxophonist Benny Golson. His tenor saxophone sound was shaded, insinuating, full of layers, with quicksilver lines amid careful ballad phrases and short trills. He had a clean, expressive upper register and a talent for improvising in semi-abstract harmony, and when the far-out years for jazz arrived in the mid-60's, led by musicians like John Coltrane and Miles Davis, he was well positioned to take part. He made a series of records for Milestone that used studio echo, Alice Coltrane's harp, violins, wood flutes and other exotic accouterments. But Mr. Henderson's greatest strengths were more traditional: the ballad, the uptempo tune, the standard. And by the early 1990's, when he was a respected elder, he made some of his greatest statements on a series of well-produced, nearly theatrical albums for Verve Records. Born in Lima, Ohio, he was one of 15 siblings. His parents and his brother James encouraged him to study music because of the talents he displayed as a saxophonist in his high school band. He attended Kentucky State College for a year, then transferred to Wayne State University in Detroit, where he was among fellow students like Yusef Lateef, Curtis Fuller and Hugh Lawson. In Detroit he worked with the saxophonist Sonny Stitt, and eventually formed his own group before joining the Army in 1960. He played in the Army band at Fort Benning, Ga., and toured military bases in the Far East and Europe with a revue called the Rolling Along Show. In 1962 Mr. Henderson, who soon became a distinctive presence with his rail-thin body, thick black glasses and bushy mustache, was discharged and headed for New York. He quickly joined the young musicians recording for Blue Note records, especially the trumpeter Kenny Dorham, who was acting as a talent scout for the label. He made his recording debut in 1963 on Dorham's "Una Mas," one of the classic Blue Note records of the early 60's. Mr. Henderson was entering jazz at a fertile moment, when a few ambitious, challenging albums, like John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" and Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue," had broken through to a wide audience. A new self-possessed intellectualism was widespread in black music, and the experimental and traditional factions hadn't yet hardened their positions. Within the same four- month stretch as a Blue Note session regular, Mr. Henderson found himself playing solos on Lee Morgan's "Sidewinder," an album full of bluesy, hard-bop tunes, and Andrew Hill's album "Point of Departure," with its opaque, knotted harmonies and rhythmic convolutions. He played more roadhouse riffs on Morgan's record, more abstract thematic improvisations on Mr. Hill's, and sounded perfectly natural in both contexts. After making five albums with Dorham, Mr. Henderson replaced Junior Cook in Horace Silver's band from 1964 to 1966. Again he was on hand for a milestone album, "Song for My Father." He was also a member of Herbie Hancock's band from 1969 to 1970. During the 60's he made several first-rate albums under his own name, including "Page One" and "Inner Urge," and wrote tunes — among them the blues pieces "Isotope" and "A Shade of Jade," the waltz "Black Narcissus," the bossa nova "Recordame" and the harmonically complex "Inner Urge" — that earned lasting underground reputations as premium modern-jazz improvisational vehicles. Mr. Henderson briefly joined the jazz-rock band Blood, Sweat and Tears in 1971, and his albums for Milestone, where he recorded until 1976, started to change from mystical Coltrane-inspired sessions to grooves and near jazz-rock. By the end of the 70's, he was working with the pianist Chick Corea. Then, after a five-year silence, he came back with the two volumes of "The State of the Tenor." The first of his moves to redefine his career, these excellent mainstream jazz sets were recorded live at the Village Vanguard. In the early 1990's he signed a new contract with Verve, which led to three Grammys. "Lush Life," from 1991, used Billy Strayhorn tunes. With its first-rate playing and narrative arc — it began with a duet, expanded to a quintet and ended with a saxophone solo — it has sold nearly 90,000 copies, reports Soundscan, a company that tracks album sales. Other songbook albums, only slightly less successful, included "So Near, So Far (Musings for Miles)," a treatment of pieces associated with Miles Davis; "Double Rainbow," an album of Antonio Carlos Jobim's music; and Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess," recorded with an all-star jazz lineup as well as the pop singers Sting and Chaka Khan. His 90's discography also included "Joe Henderson Big Band," a lavish rendering of his compositions. Mr. Henderson's survivors include a sister, Phyllis, and a brother, Troy. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2001 20:41:32 +0100 From: Nicola Battista Subject: (exotica) at last!

Maybe 10 or so. I think I have them all. I can't recommend them enough. The Japanese know how to pull out those obscure songs. The comps generally mix Brazil music with obscure soft pop tunes generally from the 1960s. I have learned about many obscure soft pop and bossa bands from these cds. The song selection is well thought out. To be sure there are famous songs on these comps, but with their length there's always plenty of gems on each.

I would never have found this if it was not for a helpful clerk at one of the other places on Newbury. Felix, the proprietor, was nice (A rarity for specialty records stores in Boston) and he stocked mostly foreign dance, techno, nouveau lounge sound. He even offered to let me listen to CD's in the store before buying them. Unfortunately I was in town for a meeting and was almost late and had to leave pretty quick. But next time. Any comments about the Serge remix CD "I Love Serge"? Any good? Saw it there.

As to whether this "artier" rip-off is more valid than a K-mart equivalent, who can say? Its all a bit muddled what with Michael Graves doing product design for Target stores and all, but somehow the concept of this place smells of snob appeal and I would have no part of it. Its like trying to make Route 66 into higher art by fine tuning it a bit... Or better yet like what has happened to Las Vegas (or Disneyland for that matter!) in order to "broaden" its appeal... No, for me it's either all art or all kitch, but nothing in between...

I had much the same experience and can't get that kids song "Dad Aren't You Glad that I'm a Mormon" out of my head! Not go figure, as religious indoctrination of young kids is one of the most loathsome things I can imagine, but I just can't forget that song, and worse yet, I know there are several records of these that are probably going to have much the same effect once I hear them! It has to be the novelty value and especially the subverted use of what is essentially popular music that does it for me. It's that or a genuiely sick sense of humour! call it a weakness... > stening to that CDR kind of reminded me of listening to Gavin Byrar's > Jesus Blood". But maybe it also reminded me a bit of the Shaggs. Now you're making me think of the South Park episode where the kids performed the Philip Glass piece! But The Shaggs... why not.. look no further than Mrs.Miller or Lucia Pamela for a comparable "adult" comparison...

These things are relics, monstrosities, bizarre artifacts - but that is only because my world is not that world. They are foreign, odd, opposed. I hesitate to compare little Marcy to Islam, or the Eleusinian mystery cults for that matter, but no matter how absurd the comparison sounds, there is a link. "Religious indoctrination" is a foreign phrase among those who go on missions, circulate vipers and wail at walls. Marcy's God (and Charlie the Hamster's) is life, like bread and aeresol dispensed cheddar. Before the Little Marcy website, we are infidels, profane, outside the temple.

In the 10" version (TSPH 0702 10"), we find three versions by great artist and producer Kid Loco (vocal, Instrumental and bonus beat). The so called 'Belleville Carnival mix' versions, as the name itself implies, have a dancefloor arrangement performed by the Parisian master. While keeping the inspired vocals by Miss Ari and the swinging Hammond work of Davide Pistoni, Kid Loco has added to it an irresistible rhythm structure which doubles up in the final for an eruption of colors and beats. Needless to say, the solid Royal Belleville style brass section comes out here and there. 'Mission on Venus' Belleville Carnival mix is destined to be one of the club anthems for the summer 2001. In the CD Single version (TSPH 0701/2 CDS), we can finally find the original version of 'Mission on Venus' (never previously released on CD format) along with Gak Sato's 'Custom mix' (recently licensed to V2 Japan and on CD for the first time), Kid Loco's vocal version and the track 'Cocktail di neve in oro' (also never available before on CD format). 'Mission on Venus' remix is a fancy presentation of this trio from Rome (Maurizio 'ErMan' Mansueti, Luca 'Luke' Cirillo e Arianna 'Miss Ari' Lacqua) The Transistors who very soon will please the world with their debut album 'ATELIER'.

The Langley Schools Music Project is a 60-voice chorus of rural school children from western Canada, untrained but captivated by melodic magic. They sing tunes by the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, The Bay City Rollers, and others in an enchanting and bittersweet collective voice. Recorded in the mid-1970s, the students accompany themselves with gamelan-like Orff percussion, and elemental rock trimmings arranged by their itinerant music teacher.

Werner M=FCller and his Orchestra (Decca; 1963) This is also a great record. I have the version with the other cover. (Other than the one Brian, Cheryl and Will have.) Hawaiian Eye is a classic cut. >The Best Of Hugo Montenegro (RCA) Another great record. It's two records, right? You get a really good taste of his moogadelic material.

I'm all for going new ways, and if kitsch by definition is a senseless repetition of old forms, then, yes, it would mean "taking kitsch out of tiki". All-too-often however the fear of kitsch is articulated by people who simply don't have good humour and despise the creative play with popular art forms as a way to question the ever freezing forms of so called serious high art, which as a category can never be defined either. I mean, since Marilyn Monroe made it onto an Andy Warhol silk screen, you cannot be sure what kitsch is anymore. When you hear the word "kitsch", you seem to know what it is, but when you think closer, you often cannot grab it.

Exactly, just like the Catholic mystery of transubtantiation. And, in a sense, Christ on the cross and those saint stautues are puppets - just not very cool ones. marcy would be an advanced model - like GI Joes with life-like hair and kung fu grip. > > Then again, I identified Popeye with JHVH very > early > > on. > > You and Todd Schorr would probably get along very > well then.

"I yam that I yam." And yes, I did see Popeye and Brutus, at first, as a Manichean parable - the struggle of the light aginst the dark - but then I realized that they were essentially one, friends at heart and equal lovers/beloved of the constantly fickle Olyv Oyl (chrism of life): Pistis Sophia, madonna and whore. > And if Popeye was YHWH, then why couldn't he create > a more attractive > girlfriend for himself and get rid of those mutated > forearms?

At his funeral today, a worshipful country music industry tried to define its debt to him, finally giving up on superlatives and expressing itself as he did in the gentle picking of a Gretsch electric guitar.
