1964 · Today And Tomorrow
In 1962-63, Butch Warren was the house bassist behind landmark Blue Note sessions -- Joe Henderson's Page One, Herbie Hancock's Takin' Off among them. Within a few years he vanished from the jazz world entirely, living in obscurity back home in Washington, D.C., and was only rediscovered decades later, not long before his death in 2013.
1969 · The Prisoner
The Sidewinder (1964) is a Lee Morgan hard-bop date, yet its title track became an unexpected commercial hit on jukeboxes and the charts — a straight-ahead session that boosted Blue Note enough that imitation openers followed for years. Joe Henderson, known as a cerebral tenor, is at the center of it.
