Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I have read about "The Cookers" shows that have been happening in NYC for a few years now, always wishing I could catch this band on the road. Well, on June 16th, I'm finally getting my chance. They're coming to the Scullers Jazz Club in Boston. I can't wait. How could it be anything but a great time with this band: David Weiss, Jeremy Pelt on trumpet Billy Harper & Craig Handy on sax George Cables on piano Cecil McBee on bass Billy Hart on drums Should be a fun Thursday night in Boston. Is anyone else going to catch this show? PS. I hope that Jeremy Pelt's substitution for Eddie Henderson is not health related.

Domestic this time...Motema Records Release date June 12. what venue in hartford on the 15th? I believe it is a gig for the Hartford Jazz Society or something to that effect. This is the venue info they gave me Polish National Home, 60 Charter Oak Ave. Hartford, CT. 06103 Hope you can make it..... Domestic or import label? And tracklisting? Can't wait!! Believe, For it is True (Billy Harper) Temptation(s) (Cecil McBee) Ebony Moonbeams (George Cables) Free For All (Wayne Shorter) Quest (Billy Harper) But He Knows (George Cables) Tight Squeeze (Cecil McBee) Naaj (Billy Hart) All have been recorded before in one form or another except for Temptation(s). Tight Squeeze is from a Cecil McBee CD called Unspoken which came out on Palmetto maybe 10 years ago or so and kind of flew under the radar I guess. It's a great record.You know I'm always happy to answers questions here and I appreciate the interest but I also want to mention that there is a Cookers Facebook page and you can see the CD cover there and some new pictures from the photo shoot for the CD. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cookers/102077619858672 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I think I'll be able to make the Vancouver show. On the whole, Cookers aside, I am not that impressed with the VIJF lineup announced so far, but some of the up and coming artists that fill in the rest of the slots should be interesting. I see Wayne Shorter does have a heck of a group backing him, but honestly I've been fairly disappointed when I heard him live as a leader, and the ticket price is high enough that I would really regret it if the gig turned out like previous ones.
