Joe Henderson erects a monument on a blue note. Grant Green slowly climbs.My dick,
summarily belittled
displaced
evicted,
is not yet quite dead
it rests on cinders
mildly agitated
My tongue a slab of felt
surplus ounces
wound about
a sparking plug
sucking on my jelly bean.
Ruminating.

By some instrumental idiosyncrasy or another, it is an impenetrable mystery that La Roca's take predates Green's, yet that is seemingly fact.
Perhaps it is merely Henderson's assurance which ultimately lends the former a clarity so redolent of Miles - post "Spanish Sketches" - while Green surrenders a fragility which takes one backward and forward in the very same instant. I don't know. Never have 1965 and 7 seemed so at odds.
Conjoined, like some sublime intro to Van Morrison's "Moondance".
