Product Description

"Our Thing" is a captivating journey into the world of jazz, masterfully crafted by saxophonist Joe Henderson. Released on May 1, 1964, under the prestigious Blue Note Records label, this album is a testament to Henderson's virtuosity and innovative spirit. Spanning just under 45 minutes, it seamlessly blends genres, including hard bop, bebop, free jazz, and cool jazz, showcasing Henderson's versatility and depth as an artist.

The album features six tracks, each meticulously remastered by Rudy Van Gelder, a name synonymous with exceptional sound quality in jazz. The title track, "Our Thing," is a standout, highlighting Henderson's soulful and expressive playing. Other tracks like "Teeter Totter" and "Pedro's Time" offer a dynamic range, from up-tempo bebop to more relaxed, cool jazz grooves. The alternate take of "Teeter Totter" provides a fascinating glimpse into Henderson's creative process, demonstrating his ability to reimagine and reinvent.

Henderson's collaboration with top-tier musicians on "Our Thing" elevates the album to new heights. The interplay between Henderson's saxophone and the accompanying ensemble creates a rich tapestry of sound, making this album a timeless piece in the jazz canon. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, "Our Thing" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.

This 2010 Limited Edition Numbered Reissue 2LP set is housed in a gatefold, pressed on 180g vinyl.

Amazing Soundstage, Packed Energy
5 out of 5 stars
Romgoyabf7 June 2025United States🇺🇸
This version of the album sounds absolutely amazing. The soundstage is impressive (piano is perfectly centered and crisp — can't figure out why rvg couldn't consistently achieve this) and it's packed with energy and punch, plus some really nice details.

DMM Surprise: Bright Yet Balanced
4 out of 5 stars
aejyniulu10 February 2025United States🇺🇸
The audio quality is fantastic. I'd heard that DMM records weren't highly regarded by collectors, but I spotted this one on eBay at a reasonable price and decided to give it a try. I must say, I'm truly pleased with my purchase. I remember reading that some folks think these DMM records can be a bit too bright, and while I'd agree that this record does have a bright sound, it's not excessively so. In my opinion, it sounds quite natural and well-balanced. This is my first DMM record, and based on this experience, I'd definitely consider buying another one down the line.
Great Album
4 out of 5 stars
Jilivagv26 December 2024United States🇺🇸
Alright, alright, I get it, it's been digitally remastered and not handled by Rudy or Kevin, but it's still a fantastic sounding record. I'd say go for it if you come across one at a fair price.

Outstanding performances featured on this album, along with the typical MM 2LP 45 audio quality. Some fantastic tracks composed by Joe Henderson and Kenny Dorham too.
