After recording his auspicious debutPage Onein June 1963,Joe Hendersonreturned to Van Gelder Studio three months later for his 2nd Blue Note dateOur Thing, which once again showcased the tenor saxophonists deep connection with his frequent collaboratorKenny Dorhamon 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 withAndrew Hillon piano,Eddie Khanon bass, andPete La Rocaon drums. The album opens briskly with Hendersons careening Teeter Totter and includes another up-tempo jaunt through the title track. Dorhams sublime compositional touch is heard on the percolating Pedros Time, strutting Back Road, and lyrical Escapade.
