Recorded live at the Festiva of Enjoyment at Enjoy Gallery in Wellington NZ on the 25th November 2002. Jeff plays baritone sax on the first track, and tenor sax on the second. A performance with the aggression of the title. The first track starts with a roaring wall of sax noise, working its way to a power drone tone (that has given me images of Jeff with a saxophone mouthpiece connected to a jet engine), and then to more subtle tonal landscapes. Halfway through the second track, Jeff pulls out one of the more satisfying and amusing slants on "jazz" that I've had the pleasure of hearing.
Jeff Henderson is an integral part of the New Zealand improvised music scene. He is one of the true master saxophonists (and a dab hand at other instruments). Jeff has founded venues that cater for specialist, obscure, and avant-garde performance; firstly the Space, and when that closed, Happy. Jeff and his venues have been responsible for fostering Wellington underground music and bringing many amazing musicians into the country. Jeff has played with Marilyn Crispell, Evan Parker, Han Bennink, William Parker and other giants over the years. He is been a part of numerous groups in Wellington, including Stroma, the Melancholy Babes and the Ortiz Funeral Directors. He is currently performing with The Dodecahedrons and The Metabolists. Apparently the Dodecahedrons soon have a CD appearing. Jeff's work with with the Birchville Cat Motel deserves special mention. Jeff is also a fascinating solo improvisor, and I'm immensely pleased to present the first two Jeff Henderson solo albums for your listening.
