Joe Henderson Memorial Big Band
Though the Atmos Trio is one of Rob’s most visible musical outlets, there are plenty of other settings in which the keen listener can find him: One is the “Joe Henderson Memorial Big Band.” This group is lead by long-time Joe Henderson sideman, trumpet player Warren Gale Jr. “Warren has a deep understanding of Joe’s music and it’s a real privilege to be playing alongside him, as well as many of the other world-class musicians in the band: it’s a super-strong collections of musicians. It’s also a real challenge to, not only play this advanced modern music authentically, but to have to follow one of Warren’s masterpiece-grade solos with an improvisation of your own—it’s a ‘kick in the backside’ that I welcome–but sometimes I think: ‘What am I supposed to play after THAT?’
The “Joe Henderson Memorial Big Band” performed at Yoshi’s San Francisco.
