Sunday Jazz Continues…checking out this Eddie Henderson cut Scorpio Libra from his Realization album…this is his first album..after playing as a sideman with Herbie Hancock‘s the Mwandishi group. Mwandishi was Hancock’s Swahili name.
This group consisted of the following members..with their Swahili names;
Mchezaji/Buster Williams , Jabali/Billy Hart, Mganga/Eddie Henderson, Mwile/Bennie Maupin, Pepo Mtoto/Julian Priester, and Ndugu/Leon Chancler. This group helped Mr. Henderson record his album.
This song is relevant to today…with the New Moon in Libra tomorrow..and Saturn and Mercury in Scorpio..
This song has a Miles Davis-ish influence…since all the above musicians worked with Mr. Davis..check it out!!
This sounds great, man! I’m diggin’ this! Just realized I need to buy more Eddie Henderson’s music. Thanks!
