Ernie Henry is his definitive album as a leader. Reissued on CD with a second take of "Like Someone In Love" added to the program,
Henry, pianist
Wynton Kelly, bassist
Wilbur Ware and drummer
Philly Joe Jones do indeed play seven standards (including "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Soon" and "I've Got the World on a String"), plus a
Henry blues ("Specific Gravity"). Superior modern mainstream music, but there should have been much more from the potentially significant
Ernie Henry.
