The Cookers - Kente Arts Alliance at the New Hazlett Theater

The group includes some of the heaviest hitters on the scene today. Billy Harper, Cecil McBee, George Cables, Eddie Henderson, and Billy Hart all came up in the heady era of the mid-’60s while David Weiss and Donald Harrison are from a more recent generation. Each member also heads his own group, earning the connotation of a “super group.”
