The Brandon Allen Quartet pays homage to jazz legends Joe Henderson and Freddie Hubbard. Dive into the rich tapestry of their music, featuring a blend of high-energy jazz, funk, and fusion tunes from their illustrious collaborations and celebrated solo works.
Joe Henderson
Joe Henderson, an influential American jazz tenor saxophonist, made significant contributions to the jazz world throughout the 1960s and beyond. Known for his involvement in landmark sessions like Lee Morgan’s “The Sidewinder” and his own albums on Blue Note Records, Henderson’s fluid, harmonically complex solos and unique tone have cemented him as a formidable force in jazz history.
Freddie Hubbard
Freddie Hubbard, renowned for his fiery trumpet play, was a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern jazz. With roots in bebop and a pioneering role in the development of both hard bop and fusion, Hubbard’s expansive discography includes timeless classics like “Red Clay” and collaborations with jazz titans such as Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.
The Brandon Allen Quartet
