Formed by trumpeter David Weiss, the Cookers feature five jazz artists who were considered masterful by the late 1960s (tenor-saxophonist Billy Harper, trumpeter Eddie Henderson, pianist George Cables, bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Billy Hart) plus the slightly younger altoist Donald Harrison and Weiss.
All of these musicians were still in prime form over 50 years later as can be heard and seen in their live appearances and recordings.
“Sir Galahad,” performed live in the studio in 2014, features fine solos by Harper, Weiss, Harrison, and Cables.
