Bill Henderson – Bill Henderson With Oscar Peterson (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Chicago-born vocalist Bill Henderson spent years in the company of jazz royalty, recording and performing alongside figures like Horace Silver and Oscar Peterson before largely stepping away from the spotlight to pursue an acting career. Catching him here, in full voice and surrounded by one of the tightest rhythm sections in the music, is a reminder of what the recorded canon sometimes lets slip through the cracks.
Bill Henderson - "Bill Henderson With The Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve By Request Series)" [180g LP] Bill Henderson may not have been a household name among jazz singers, but this 1963 release raises a valid point that maybe he should have been. Of course, taking on this mix of standards with the Oscar Peterson Trio - including Ed Thigpen (drums) and Ray Brown (bass), certainly could make a lesser talent look better. But Henderson matches the group's ability and elevates classics like "All or Nothing At All," and "You Are My Sunshine" with his own point of view. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit. Verve Label Group; Verve; Jazz; Catalog [180gram Heavy Vinyl LP]
