Jesse Fischer – “Punjab” (Stream)

Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson would have turned 81 today. Everybody’s got their favorites and Henderson is pianist/producer Jesse Fischer’s. So in tribute of the legend, Fischer just dropped the first single to his upcoming album, Flipped II, his take on Henderson’s tune, “Punjab”, featuring Billy Buss on trumpet, Godwin Louis on alto sax, and Fischer filling in all the other nooks and crannies with his particular ear for production melded with his distinct flair on the keys. It’s a cool tune worth copping on Fischer’s Bandcamp (because dude understands the importance of Bandcamp for artists as opposed to other, less equitable streaming services), particularly since it’s linked after the jump.
