Miles Davis band reunion of sorts. Killer grooves and serious jams going on here.
Alongside saxophonist Sonny Fortune (a Miles alum from 1974 who appeared on Big Fun, Agharta, Pangaea and Get Up With It), tabla player Badal Roy (who played a key role on 1972's On The Corner), drummer Ndugu Chancler (who toured Europe with Miles for one month in 1971 as a sub for Jack DeJohnette), guitarist Barry Finnerty (who played on Miles' 1981 comeback album The Man With The Horn) and keyboardist Michael Wolff (who although he never played with Miles Davis was hugely influenced by Miles' electric years, as evidenced by his 2001 release, Intoxicate), Henderson conjures up some of the same bubbling, subversive and influential grooves that shook up the world 30-some years ago. On Rebirth, a live set recorded at the renowned Oakland, California jazz spot, Yoshi's, the music sounds as ferocious now as it did back in the day.
