‧本輯特意蒐羅了Fletcher Henderson自1924年剛出道起至1940年代全盛時期的經典作品，無一不是於今令所有爵士樂迷回味再三的早期大樂團佳作
Fletcher Henderson這位能彈琴、能編、作曲的重要爵士樂人，如今以回溯的眼光看來自然佔有相當重要的地位。然而在1920、30年代，由於Fletcher Henderson不善經營之故，其所領導的大樂團並未風光太久，至1939年Fletcher Henderson開始為Benny Goodman樂團擔任鋼琴手並負責組織樂手、編寫樂曲後，世人更是僅知Benny Goodman大樂團，幾乎忘了有Fletcher Henderson這號人物的存在。
往後常有人言，Benny Goodman大樂團之所以能如此成功，可以說是Benny Goodman「剽竊」Fletcher Henderson才華的結果。姑且不論這「剽竊」二字是否公允，Fletcher Henderson本身的才華確實是令人折服，其大樂團樂曲中精緻複雜的結構、明快的節奏以及高度的娛樂性，確實是大樂團搖擺樂伊始時的標竿。此外，長於發掘優秀藝人的Fletcher Henderson，更是在其樂團中培養出許多像是Louis Armstrong、Coleman Hawkins、Roy Eldridge、Ben Webster等這樣未來樂壇的耀眼巨星，可謂貢獻卓著。
準此，此張《Ken Burns Jazz-Fletcher Henderson》選輯特意蒐羅了Fletcher Henderson自1924年剛出道起至1940年代全盛時期的經典作品，其中像是＜Shanghai Shuffle＞、＜Sugar Foot Stomp＞、＜King Porter’s Stomp＞、＜Christopher Columbus＞等，無一不是於今令所有爵士樂迷回味再三的早期大樂團佳作，充分體現了Fletcher Henderson作品中精緻的底蘊，而樂團中上述優秀獨奏樂手的精湛表現更是不容錯過，值得細細品鑑。
