Johnny Griffin's self-titled Argo album deserves more attention.  That domestic, LPR reissue series from Verve was great.  

2 true.

Fantastic ! 

With Chick Corea, and Tony Dumas/Peter Erskine - Richard Davis/Tony Williams alternating. 

This was in 1978 about the time I saw Joe Henderson live for the first time. 

I remember I became a big fan of Joe Henderson from the first moment I saw him live on TV (yeah, things like this were possible in the 70´s, it was a San Francisco Concert 1977, the bass player I remember was Ratso Harris, the others was a young guitar player and a young drummer.........). 

That´s were I remember I heard Henderson´s "Recorda Me" and fell in love with it. I think I played Recorda Me very often on jam sessions here in Vienna.......

Two remarkably similar albums separated by forty years! And both very good.

I do like it (I mean, what's not to like?), but I also feel that this label was perhaps not really equipped to give this record the best production it could have had, maybe?

Do you mean the mix is poor?  Or some other aspect of production?

Thanks for posting those, Bill. I am especially interested in the earlier release. You already know I'm a big fan.

I think the mix is inconsistent, and maybe in a few cases the performances sound rushed or otherwise not totally relaxed. I get that this was not going to be a really stretched out date, but the last two cuts are just ZONED, whereas a few of the others sound like maybe another take wouldn't have hurt, to maybe get a better flow. Then again, time/place/budget/etc.

Not complaining, mind you, just observing. This is not a typical Black & Blue date to begin with anyway, and I'm glad they made it, period.

I hear you. There's definitely an "off the cuff" vibe. ... Need to pull that one out and give it another listen.
