AMG:
Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson is heard in peak form throughout this set. Performing at the Junk Club in Tokyo, Henderson is joined by an all-Japanese rhythm section (electric pianist Hideo Ichikawa, bassist Kunimitsu Inaba, and drummer Motohiko Hino) on lengthy versions of "'Round Midnight," "Blue Bossa," and his two originals "Out 'n' In" and "Junk Blues." Henderson sounds quite inspired throughout the set, and the obscure rhythm section (only Hino is known in the U.S.) really pushes him. An underrated gem.

Tracks:
-1. "'Round Midnight" (Thelonius Monk) - 12:35
-2. "Out 'N' In" (Joe Henderson) - 9:03
-3. "Blue Bossa" (Kenny Dorham) - 8:25
-4. "Junk Blues" (Henderson) - 14:46

* Joe Henderson - tenor saxophone
