    Release date: January 16, 2026

    After recording his auspicious debut "Page One" in June 1963, Joe Henderson returned to Van Gelder Studio three months later for his 2nd Blue Note date "Our Thing," which once again showcased the tenor saxophonist's deep connection with his frequent collaborator Kenny Dorham on trumpet. As both frontline foils and composers of all the tunes on this swinging five-song set, the duo set the tone accompanied by an extraordinary rhythm section with Andrew Hill on piano, Eddie Khan on bass, and Pete La Roca on drums. The album opens briskly with Henderson's careening "Teeter Totter" and includes another up-tempo jaunt through the title track. Dorham's sublime compositional touch is heard on the percolating "Pedro's Time," strutting "Back Road," and lyrical "Escapade."

    This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
