The Athenaeum Jazz fall series begins with the San Diego debut of The Cookers, a true all-star septet comprised of some of the leading instrumentalists in jazz from the past 40 years. Led by trumpeter David Weiss, the group features Billy Harper on tenor sax, Donald Harrison on alto sax, Eddie Henderson on trumpet, George Cables on piano, Cecil Mc Bee on bass, and Billy Hart on drums.
Collectively, the Cookers include veterans of classic jazz ensembles led by Lee Morgan, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, Dexter Gordon, and Charles Lloyd.
