Trumpeter Eddie Henderson first rose to prominence as a member of Herbie Hancock's groundbreaking Mwandishi ensemble in the early 1970s, before cementing his legacy with a pair of celebrated recordings for Blue Note. Heritage, originally released in 1976, stands as one of those seminal jazz-funk fusion milestones, bringing together an exceptional cast of musicians including Julian Priester, Patrice Rushen, Paul Jackson, Mike Clark, Billy Hart, and Mtume, among others.
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition of Heritage is an all-analog reissue mastered by the highly regarded Kevin Gray directly from the original master tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal, ensuring the warm, dynamic sound of Henderson's forward-looking 1976 vision is faithfully preserved. Recorded and mixed at Wally Heider Recording Studios in San Francisco, California, the album captures a moment in jazz history where creative boundaries were being boldly pushed, making this reissue a rewarding listen for both dedicated fans and those discovering Henderson's work for the first time.
