Product Description Jazz veterans and kindred spirits Billy Harper, Eddie Henderson, George Cables, Cecil McBee and Billy Hart forge a world-class union on 'Warriors' their auspicious debut for Jazz Legacy. Along with David Weiss and Craig Handy, they are collectively known as The Cookers and their first recording is a potent collection of expansive post bop originals. Amongst the tracks is a dynamic rendition of Freddie Hubbards "The Core", two relaxed offerings from Cecil McBee and Billy Harper's signature piece "Priestess", which the saxophonist performed numerous times with The Gil Evans Orchestra. Personnel: Billy Harper (tenor saxophone), Eddie Henderson, David Weiss (trumpet), Craig Handy (alto saxophone & flute), George Cables (piano), Cecil McBee (bass), Billy Hart (drums) Review (4 stars) At times recalls the vibe of the 1970s Strata East and Black Saint recordings...ferocious take-no-prisoners tenor of Billy Harper. -- Jazzwise, (Tony Hall), February 2011

Oh Yeah
To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect from this group of mostly veteran musicians. Let me assure you, this album swings and swings hard. All the tunes except one by Freddie Hubbard were written by group members. All the tunes are excellent and when I heard Billy Harper's Capra Black, it took me right back to Lee Morgan's Last Album.If you like straight up hard bop you should check this out.

Smoking
I recently had a chance to see the Cookers live in Baltimore at the Keystone Jazz Club , what a incredible performance by legendary Jazz masters, purchased the Warriors CD afterwards perfection at it’s best.

Veterans still smoke
Here are five kindred souls who have been smoking for enough years individually to all be considered veteran smokers. 'Smoke' here means hard driving post-bop played with precision and power. This is a very good set and everyone contributes admirably. All of the music is very accessable..not the least bit self-indulgent. Old fans like me already know that that these creative musicians are all great soloists who are especially comfortable with this kind of music. But there is a bonus. This album shows is that as a collective, this group is also comfortable with each other. They sound like much more than a rehersal group. The use of two trumpet players, both separately and together, just adds to the pot. These guys really 'cook'.All this cookin' is bound to produce a lot of smokin' and it does so here.Buy the album. You will like it. It will probably become a treasured componet of your jazz collection.
M**!
Worthwhile CD
I had never heard of the 'Cookers' before, but after hearing this CD, I'm totally hooked! This is what jazz should sound like! Every cut is well executed, and delivered. These guys really 'cook'! I'm sold on their ability to serve up a dish at anytime in my home. Keep on cooking!
