At 27 years old, tenor saxophonist and composer Joe Henderson was already in his full artistic stride by the time he made Inner Urge, his 4th Blue Note album which was recorded in November 1964. His first 3 albumsPage One, Our Thing, and In N Outwere quintet dates where Henderson had his frequent collaborator trumpeter Kenny Dorham by his side, but on Inner Urge, Henderson opted instead for a quartet setting with his the lone horn out in front.

The extraordinary line-up included two members of the trailblazing John Coltrane Quartetpianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jonesas well as Blue Note stalwart Bob Cranshaw on bass. Side 1 consists of 2 timeless Henderson compositions of differing temperaments that would go on to become standards: the intense title track Inner Urge and the jovial blues Isotope, which was an homage to Thelonious Monk. Side 2 opens with a 3rd Henderson original, the evocation El Barrio which opens with Hendersons plaintive cry. A stunningly gorgeous ballad performance of Duke Pearsons piece You Know I Care follows before the album concludes with a brisk, up-tempo dash through the Cole Porter standard Night and Day.

UHQCDs reproduce the sound of original master tapes as faithfully as possible by utilizing new transfer technologies and improved materials to produce high-quality sound with a better representation of the whole stage. UHQCDs comply with CD standards and can be played on existing players.
