Joe Henderson Quintet -The Lighthouse, Hermosa Beach, California, June 1977

A recent New York Times profile revealed that the great drummer Jack DeJohnette has retired from the touring life — at 83 years old, Jack has earned it. But retirement means he can dig into his archives, and Jack has struck gold almost immediately.

Hank Shteamer reports: The increased time at home has given DeJohnette time for reflection both musical and personal. Lydia [DeJohnette] and Joan Clancy, the DeJohnettes’ personal assistant, are currently cataloging and organizing his vast sonic archive, containing decades’ worth of unreleased recordings. One tape from this trove is a turbocharged 1966 live set from the storied East Village venue Slugs’ Saloon that features DeJohnette alongside the pianist McCoy Tyner, the saxophonist Joe Henderson and the bassist Henry Grimes. It will come out on Blue Note in November as “Forces of Nature,” a title chosen, he said, “because everybody’s being pulled and pushing each other to the umpteenth level, and it shows.”

Aw yeah, this is just what the doctor ordered ... check out a sample from the show. Great sound quality, phenomenal performance, impeccably Slugs-y vibes.

And then, enjoy a soundboard of Joe Henderson a little over a decade later all the way across the country in Hermosa Beach at another storied venue — The Lighthouse! I was just in Hermosa Beach over the summer and this club is still standing. On the marquee when I was passing by? Boys Of Summer: A Don Henley & Eagles Tribute. Oh baby. But hey, this tape of Joe is great, with the saxophonist's longtime associate George Cables on electric and acoustic piano; check out Joe and George blissfully trading lines on "'Round Midnight."

More bygone Hermosa Beach daze — my buddy Chris has been doing sterling work with his Rat Beach Rags t-shirts, reviving some classic (and long-shuttered) logos from our misbegotten youth: Alternative Groove, Scooter's Records and, most recently, Either-Or Bookstore, a Beat-era holdover that was right up the street from the Lighthouse. I spent endless hours at Either-Or back in the day, flipping through magazines, petting the cat, trying to act cool. Get your Either-Or shirt here.

A Study in Musical Conversations: "The Lee Konitz Duets"

Introduction: Lee Konitz, the renowned alto saxophonist known for his cool jazz sensibilities and improvisational mastery, has always been a musician willing to take risks. His career, spanning more than six decades, was characterized by bold musical exploration, and his 1968 album “The Lee Konitz Duets” stands as a testament to this adventurous spirit.

Joe Henderson & Kenny Drew Trio - Molde Jazz Festival, Norway, August 1968

Before last week's Yo La Tengo show in Boulder, I stumbled into the great Paradise Found record store (none other than Ira the K stumbled in right after me, actually) for a quick browse. Paradise Found has lots of great vinyl, but recently I've been taking advantage of their extremely nicely priced CDs. And I wasn't disappointed this time around — waiting in the bins for me was the eight-disc Joe Henderson: The Milestone Years collection. For $25! Irresistible. Tons of wonderful music, some of it very familiar, some of it very unfamiliar (how had I never heard the amazing Joe Henderson In Japan LP before?!).

So I'm on a bit of Henderson bender now, and I've been enjoying this performance from right around the beginning of Joe's Milestone era, which kicks off with a long, luminous version of Billy Strayhorn's classic "Chelsea Bridge" and leads into an equally expansive "Isotope." Henderson sounds sensitive and inquisitive throughout, always finding interesting places to go, always taking the audience with him. The band is killer, too, with Kenny Drew (piano), Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass) and Albert "Tootie" Heath (drums) providing expert accompaniment.

And hey, it's that same band backing up the mighty Yusef Lateef on this same Norwegian night in 1968. Check out the magnificent melancholy of "The Shadow of Your Smile," Lateef's flute drifting into the aether, coloring your dreams, lighting the dawn.
