Joe Henderson
A true sax player's sax player, Joe Henderson's work was a remarkable mix of the cerebral and the visceral, the airy and the gutty. All that came into full flower on seminal 1969 set "Power to the People" (whose team included Herbie Hancock), an album that fully deserves its new remastering.
Freshest of the fresh
The recordings in the double-shot set are "fresh" in two senses. All were released within the last year, and all are compellingly modern. Between a terrific bass-led set from former Miles collaborator Marcus Miller, an earthy outing from Bela Fleck and Chick Corea, and Jimmy Greene's heartfelt modal forays, these recent records are evidence of a strong and eclectic scene.

Candy Dulfer
On her latest LP, "Candy Store," the alto star continues to live up to the title of her 1990 debut, "Saxuality." Dulfer's tracks combine funky-fresh beats with a smooth jazzer's silky saxophone and combo cool. The results are at once breezy and hugely flirtatious.
Chick Corea & Gary Burton
Anniversary discs can come in many forms. In the case of the 35th birthday of Burton and Corea's classic "Crystal Silence" collab, the approach is a broader "reflection" on the music they've made then and since. It's a wise tack, allowing for sharp new expansions on the classic piano-vibes cross.
Miles Davis
If you've only heard the "Kind of Blue" classic "So What" in its original cool, you'll be stunned by this early-'60s veer into speedy hard bop. Playing with a fantastic five (Davis, Hancock, Williams, Carter, and Coleman) the Miles of this live session is locked in a fiery, pre-avant-garde groove.
Herbie Hancock
To call Hancock's stunning new collection of Joni Mitchell songs a "covers" set doesn't quite capture its spirit. The pianist has done what Joni might appreciate: he's responded to the tenor and theme of her songs, but not always the notes. The results are abstract, elegant, and ripe for extra listens.
