Heritage

Henderson's trumpet playing is fluid and bright, but the real pull here is the rhythm section and the production — this is jazz-funk with genuine pocket, not just jazz with a drum machine. The bass lines are melodic and active, and the keys sit in a sweet spot between groove and harmony. It's playable enough to work as background music but has enough going on to reward focused listening. A well-crafted mid-70s record that doesn't need much qualification.
