"A dream team of forward-leaning hard-bop." -- New York Times "Talk about truth in advertising: The Cookers, an eye-popping septet led by the accomplished trumpeter, composer, and arranger David Weiss, offers the promise of broiling intensity ... the blend of experience and youth, the rich orchestration possibilities offered by four horns, and especially the distinctive collection of personalities gives the band a unique complexion." -- Detroit Free Press
The Cookers are at the pinnacle of their career, here performing tour de force original compositions. Features seven world-class jazz musicians who are all bandleaders, with a musical camaraderie evidenced by 40 years of sideman experience with jazz legends. |
