The Phantom Band: Celebrating the Music of Joe Henderson

Leading the Phantom Band is Renee Rosnes, one of the premier pianists and composers of her generation. Shortly after relocating from Vancouver to New York in 1986, Rosnes quickly established a reputation as a major talent. She has recorded and toured with a veritable "who's who" of jazz, being the pianist of choice for legendary musicians such as Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, JJ Johnson, Buster Williams and Bobby Hutcherson. In 1989, James Moody hired Renee for his quartet, and she remained a member of his band until his passing in 2010.

The collective quartet known as Native Soul has earned a reputation for inspired performances among audiences and fellow musicians alike.

Native Soul's latest recording "One Mind" is surging up the charts: already at #26 in its third week. One Mind showcases the depth and versatility of this New York-based cooperative: exciting up-tempos, deep grooves, modern compositions, and reinvented pop tunes. All elevated by the telepathic interaction for which they are known. Peter Brainin (saxophone, Noah Haidu (piano), Marcus McLaurine (bass), Steve Johns (drums).
