Eddie Henderson – Heritage (1976) (Classic Vinyl)

Trumpeter Eddie Henderson came to prominence as a member of Herbie Hancock’s Mwandishi in the early ’70s after which he recorded a pair of seminal jazz-funk fusion classics for Blue Note: ‘Sunburst’ (1975), and ‘Heritage’ (1976) – the latter featuring a forward-looking crew with Julian Priester, Patrice Rushen, Paul Jackson, Mike Clark, Billy Hart, Mtume, and others. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
