Recorded just three months before his unexpected death, this set by altoist 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. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/seven-standards-and-a-blues-mw0000096491

Personnel: Ernie Henry (alto saxophone), Wynton Kelly (piano), Wilbur Ware (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums).
