Given the recording date of Mode for Joe and the band lineup, it's easy
to assume this is a straight-up hard bop album. However, this 1966 Joe
Henderson record -- featuring trumpeter Lee Morgan, trombonist Curtis
Fuller, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ron
Carter, and drummer Joe Chambers -- is a great example of modern jazz
at its best. It was recorded during a time of sweeping musical changes
due to developments in free jazz, soul-jazz, and even early experiments
with fusion. It was a time when the bluesy and funky leanings of hard
boppers were giving way to more individualized contemporary approaches.
One of the best examples of this shift, Mode for Joe sounds more like
the experimental work of Branford Marsalis than the groovy musings of
Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers. The last track here, "Free
Wheelin'," is the only dyed-in-the-wool hard bop tune heard here. Other
than that, this outing's mostly uptempo songs serve as vehicles for
solos. Henderson himself proves that the template for players such as
Marsalis, Joe Lovano, and Joshua Redman was invented a generation
earlier, as evidenced on "A Shade of Jade," "Black," and others, making
this one of the sax legend's most intriguing albums. by Eric Starr
