Scott Henderson, picking up some of that much-needed endorsement cash.

I had always known that Scott Henderson had played with Zawinul, but never really gave it much thought.  Weather report was and explicitly NO-GUITAR outfit.  On the other hand, starting with the one time I saw Zawinul’s band in ’97, I’ve known that he always has young and talented  guitarists as part of the supporting ensemble.  I don’t know anything about the solo work of Amit Chatterjee, or some Jozy’s other guitar players.  I do know that Henderson’s body of work is successful in both popularity and critical acclaim.  Plus he has a king-size honker. Here’s the track that’s changing my mind.  This is Carnavalito from the 1989 live album ‘Black Water’.  I have heard several version of this song, but only just discovered this one while going through some old data DVD’s.  Check out the Discipline-era King Crimson vibe at the very beginning of this track.
