Power To The People

Joe Henderson's *Power to the People* merges socially conscious themes with hard bop, jazz-funk, and electronic innovation. Featuring Henderson's originals—"Isotope," "Afro-Centric," and the debut recording of "Black Narcissus"—the album showcases a powerhouse rhythm section with Herbie Hancock (piano, Fender Rhodes), Ron Carter (electric and acoustic bass), Jack DeJohnette (drums), and Mike Lawrence (trumpet). Nearly 55 years on, *Power to the People* remains strikingly vital.
