HENDERSON BOBBY (P-TP)
New York. 16/4/1910. – New York.9/12/1969.
Amico ed allievo di Fats Walzer, per un certo periodo è stato l’accompagnatore di Billy Holiday. In seguito si è dedicato all’attività di pianista intrattenitore, esibendosi spesso sotto lo pseudonimo di Jody Bolden. Pianista molto esperto, che conosce il suo mestiere che è quello dell’entertainment e molto legato al suo maestro. Ha registrato pochissimo e quelle poche sono merito di John Hammond che le ha riscoperte ad Albany nella metà degli anni ’50.

HENDERSON EDDIE (TP)
New York, 26/10/1940.
Il padre e la madre hanno lavorato al Cotton Club di Harlem come cantante e ballerina. Alla morte del padre la madre si è trasferita a San Francisco, dove lui ha iniziato a studiare al locale Conservatorio di Musica. Dal 1958 al 1961 ha fatto il servizio militare in aviazione e poi ha frequentato la University of California di Berkeley ed ha studiato medicina alla Oward University di Washington D.C. laureandosi in psichiatria. Nella musica ha iniziato a suonare con John Andy. Incoraggiato da Miles Davis ha lasciato la medicina per la musica. Dal 1970 al 1973 ha collaborato con Herbie Hancock, ha fatto una tournée con Art Blakey, ha suonato poi con Mike Nock, con Charles Earland, ha registrato con Norman Connors. Ha guidato un suo sestetto orientato al rock. Ha registrato con Richard Davis, Stanley Cowell, Pharoah Sanders. Nella metà degli anni ’80 si è orientato verso la fusion, il jazz modale e il free jazz. Ha suonato con David Friesen, con Kenny Barron, con Billy Harper, con John Hicks, con Laurent De Wilde, con Gary Bartz, con Dnald Brown, nel 1990 con Ron McClure, con la pianista Berta Hope, con Kevin Hays, con Mulgrew Miller, con Victor Lewis, con Bob Bargad, con Courtney Pine. Ha registrato con la McCoy Tyner Big Band nel 1993, è stato a Umbria Jazz con il gruppo di Elvin Jones. Alla pubblicazione del suo primo disco ha diviso in due l’ambiente che ruota intorno al jazz negli Stati Uniti. Una parte che lo giudica una nuova stella e dall’altra invece chi lo giudica un musicista mediocre. In realtà Henderson è un musicista dotato di una buona tecnica e di una voce strumentale abbastanza gradevole, manca però di personalità. Profondamente influenzato da Davis, anche nell’uso dei strumenti elettrificati. Trombettista legato al periodo del post bop ed al cosiddetto jazz rock. .

L’anno successivo è alla direzione del complesso di Shrimp Jones che in seguito ha assunto il suo nome. Dopo un inizio incerto ha ottenuto una scrittura al famoso Roseland Ballroom di New York che gli ha procurato fama e successo. La “Connie’s In Orchestra”, d iventa la migliore orchestra dell’epoca, nel suo organico hanno suonato musicisti come;Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Don Redman, Benny Carter, Tommy Ladnier, Rex Stewart, Henry Allen, Roy Eldridge, Jimmy Harrison, J. C. Higginbotham, Dickie Wells ed altri si è avvalso anche del valido apporto negli arrangiamenti dello stesso Carter, di Don Redman e di suo fratello Horace. Sciolta l’orchestra nel 1939 lavora con Benny Goodman come pianista e arrangiatore ed il suo apporto specie come arrangiatore ebbe il suo notevole peso sul grande successo di Goodman. In seguito costituì un sestetto con il quale lavora al Cafè Society di New York. Nel 1950 colpito da paralisi abbandona l’attività. E’ stato il direttore della prima importante orchestra della storia del Jazz ed un pioniere dell’arrangiamento e forse uno dei migliori dell’intera storia del jazz. Ha avuto un intuito straordinario nella scelta dei solisti ai quali dava massima libertà espressiva.

HENDERSON HORACE (P)
Cuthbert, Georgia. 22/11/1904. – Denver, Colorado. 29/8/1988.
Fratello di Fletcher. Studia alla Wibelforce University per la quale organizza un’orchestra, della quale faceva parte anche Benny Carter. L’orchestra ebbe un discreto successo ed ottenne una scrittura anche al Savoy di New York. Nel 1931 il gruppo fu assorbito da Don Redman mentre Horace entra nell’orchestra del fratello. Soprattutto bravo arrangiatore, in tale veste ha lavorato con: Casa Loma, con Benny Carter (1931) con Don Redman (1932) Henry Allen Allen (1933) Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet ed è stato importante il suo lavoro fatto per Benny Goodman. Per due anni ha accompagnato come pianista la cantante Lena Horne, anche in varie tournée in giro per il mondo. Successivamente ricostituì una sua orchestra. Nella sua vita ha dovuto cedere il passo a suo fratello maggiore Fletcher sebbene fosse senz’altro migliore come pianista.
