 Eddie Henderson
Eddie Henderson grew up with both a medical and musical background. His stepfather was a doctor to people like Miles and Coltrane and Duke Ellington. In fact, his first informal lesson on the instrument at the age of 9 was from Louis Armstrong. Eddie Henderson grew up in San Francisco and is one of the few trumpeters who was strongly influenced by Miles Davis' work of his early fusion period. Eddie Henderson was heavily influenced by the early fusion work of jazz musician Miles Davis who was a friend of his parents. Henderson's other influences include Booker Little, Clifford Brown and Woody Shaw. He is well known for his work with the Herbie Hancock Sextet in the '70s. |

“…groove with astonishing speed and accuracy” – Jazzwise Magazine  John McLaughlin and Chick Corea Together for their first-ever world tour: legendary jazz pianist Chick Corea and veteran jazz/fusion guitar grandmaster John McLaughlin in the Five Peace Band will perform a concert in New York at Jazz At Lincoln Center's Rose theater, on Thursday, April 23rd through Saturday, April 25th with shows at 8:00 pm each night. Chick Corea and John McLaughlin first joined forces under the leadership of Miles Davis. Each would continue on to catalyze the inception of jazz fusion; Corea with the Latin-influenced Return To Forever, McLaughlin with both the scaled-down Lifetime and eastern-tinged Mahavishnu Orchestra. Both artists have since traversed every corner of the jazz world. Their triumphant reunion, the Five Peace Band, has already roused fanfare throughout Europe, and rightly so. Fellow Miles alumni, alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett completes the melodic frontline, propelled by a dream team rhythm section consisting of Christian McBride on bass and Brian Blade on drums. |
