Captured live at The Lighthouse Café in Hermosa Beach in September 1970, Jazz Patterns brings together two titans of hard bop and post-bop jazz — tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson and trumpeter Woody Shaw — for performances recorded during the same legendary stand that produced Henderson's acclaimed album If You're Not Part of the Solution, You're Part of the Problem. These previously unreleased recordings offer an electrifying window into a pivotal moment in jazz history, with George Cables adding a soulful electric piano presence throughout.
This remastered reissue from Real Gone Music breathes new life into recordings that originally suffered from poor production quality, with the remastering from the original tapes delivering a noticeably improved listening experience. The performances themselves are extraordinary — Henderson plays at the outer edge of his style, delivering intense, complex lines that push his technique to its limits, while Shaw's trumpet work draws comparisons to the coolest and most refined players of the era. Liner notes by Skip Heller provide essential context for understanding just how significant these sessions truly are.
