The Cookers are an aptly-named, cross-generational band of hot, name players in the hard bop mode with a strong sense of identity, both as individuals and as an ensemble team. Organized by trumpeter, arranger, composer and all-around situation-maker David Weiss, the band taps the sagely, hard-swinging energies of vibrant veterans Cecil McBee on bass, drummer Billy Hart, pianist George Cables, trumpeters Eddie Henderson and Weiss, and saxophonists Billy Harper and Donald Harrison.
