McCoy Tyner Trio & Michael Brecker, I Mean You

All right now, it's the McCoy Tyner Trio and Michael Brecker playing the Monk tune, "I Mean You". Before that we heard Joe Henderson play "Granted". We're featuring outstanding jazz sax work on the show tonight.

Cedar Watkins played piano on "Mode For Joe" and wrote the title track. Here's Joe Henderson now with "Mode For Joe" and "Black".
