Collecting a variety of the tenor saxophone player Joe Henderson's 1970s recordings for the Milestone label, MILESTONE PROFILES is an intriguing and absorbing mixed bag that features post-bop ballads like "Mamacita," the funky soul-jazz of "Black Narcissus," more modernist offerings like "Out 'N' In," and the free-floating lyricism of "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Mind." Throughout, Henderson's playing is supple, eclectic, and sometimes revelatory.

A remarkable tenor player and improviser for the last three decades, Joe Henderson's career began in the '60s on Blue Note. He played a prominent role in seminal records by the diverse likes of Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock, Eric Dolphy, Andrew Hill, and Larry Young, reflecting a talent that encompassed not only bebop tradition but avant garde and Latin influences as well. The breadth of his tone and his constant invention were finally recognized on a broad scale with the Verve label's support in the '90s.
