Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

I’m not going to say much about the tune Malaguena as it’s fairly straight forward. It was recorded by the Pete La Roca Quartet in either 1964 or 1965 (I’ve seen both) for the Pete La Roca album Basra, which is only available by import from Japan. The band features La Roca on drums, Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, Steve Swallow on bass and Steve Kuhn on piano. As I think you’ll hear the tune is a wonderful vehicle for Henderson. Enjoy. Click here to play or download. I’ll give you a jelly bean if you can name the scale or mode Joe leans most heavily on.
