This Milestone LP (which has been included in Joe Henderson's eight-CD Milestone set) is a bit of a mixed bag. The tenor recorded four numbers with pianist Joachim Kuhn's trio in Paris and later had percussion and Patrick Gleeson's synthesizer overdubbed. In addition there is the odd &Amoeba& (which finds Henderson doubling on synth himself) along with a superior version of &Good Morning Heartache& featuring Henderson, Kuhn, bassist Dave Friesen and drummer Jack DeJohnette. This album has its moments although there are many much more consistent Joe Henderson albums around.
