It’s only been a minute since the wondrous San Francisco based octet SFJAZZ Collective<\/a> celebrated their tenth anniversary with the release<\/a> of SFJAZZ Collective: 10<\/em>. They are ready to follow it up, and as is usual with the collective, their new offering serves as a tribute to a modern jazz master. Drawing on a vast reservoir of musical influences, the collective’s new album celebrates the music of legendary saxophonist and composer Joe Henderson. Featuring both new arrangements of Henderson’s classic and lesser-known pieces, and original compositions written be each member of the collective, the upcoming Live: SFJAZZ Center 2014, The Music of Joe Henderson and New Compositions<\/em> was recorded live last October at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco.
\n“There\u2019s a catchy quality to Joe\u2019s melodies”, said the collective’s pianist Edward Simon, adding that “they\u2019re sing -able, and yet his tunes have very interesting harmonic progressions and sonorities,\u201d.
\nLive: SFJAZZ Center 2014, The Music of Joe Henderson and New Compositions<\/em> is due out on March 10th. Ahead of its release, we can get a taste of it with the funky and sterling first single ‘Fire, arranged by drummer Obed Calvaire. Lifted from Joe Henderson’s album Elements<\/em>, the piece was originally recorded in 1973 featuring Alice Coltrane.<\/p>\n
