Arkadia Jazz All-Stars: Thank You, Joe CD in a jewel case.
“Another great tribute album by Arkadia Jazz All-Stars… If you’re a jazz fan at all you’ll recognize all of these familiar pieces, played here with passion and depth. Just a wonderful album. Thank you, Arkadia.” – Jeanette Housner, Victory Review
“…exceptional… …entraps your senses and focus throughout the entire statement. Unequivocally, an artistic triumph and should be award-bound.” – Dr. Herb Wong, Jazz Educators Journal
“Arkadia Jazz All-Stars: Thank You, Joe” creates a memorable tribute to Joe Henderson, one of Jazz music’s greatest tenor saxophonists and composers. We at Arkadia Jazz feel it is important to honor the legacy of some of Jazz’s greats. For our “Thank You” series of musical homages, we asked our artists go into the studio and record an all new, previously unreleased song either derived from or influenced by the enduring legacy Jazz’s royalty. In this case, we honor tenor saxophone legend Joe Henderson.
“Unlike many less-than-stellar “tribute” albums, “Thank You, Joe!” provides vibrant insight into Henderson’s classic compositions, with passionate performances that pay homage to a musician whose ongoing contribution to jazz continues to be brought to the forefront.” – Steve Graybow, Billboard Magazine
Eric Reed, Carl Allen, Rodney Whitaker, Javon Jackson, Terrell Stafford, Randy Brecker, and Steve Nelson, with a special appearance by Arkadia Jazz recording artist and Henderson’s former longtime pianist Joanne Brackeen, interpret some of the songs that typify the Henderson sound and spirit in their own unique style and manner, creating a showcase of both Henderson’s music and the influence he left behind.
“…It is with special joy that Arkadia Jazz has added another title to its fine “Thank You” series with this grand salute to Henderson. The CD is exceptional, co-produced by drummer Carl Allen and label founder Bob Karcy. The assemblage of an impressive cast shines brilliantly through nine tunes with unbounded excitement and passion… Organized astutely in several configurations from trio to larger groupings, the CD is well-sequenced with power performances by all aboard… Infused with wealthy highlights, I am sure Joe is grooved by the splendid, heartfelt homage to him. …it entraps your senses and focus throughout the entire statement. Unequivocally, “Thank You, Joe!” is an artistic triumph and should be award-bound.” – Dr. Herb Wong, Jazz Educators Journal
