Monday night there is only one place to be
and that is Sage Gateshead. One of the great line-ups in jazz returns to play
Sage Two following a triumphant appearance at the 2015 Gateshead International
Jazz Festival. The Cookers – bop masters par excellence – made a huge
impression last time around and Monday evening is sure to be one of those ‘I
was there’ occasions.
The Cookers have an unbelievable pedigree;
collectively band members have contributed to literally thousands of recording
sessions (many of them with the biggest jazz names in history) and to see – and
hear – these seven men on stage will be a privilege. The band is on a European
tour and this Sage Gateshead date, one of four, offers a rare opportunity to
hear the band on these shores. Band leader and trumpeter David Weiss has
assembled the dream line-up of fellow trumpeter Eddie Henderson, Billy Harper,
tenor, Craig Handy on alto, Danny Grissett, piano, Cecil McBee, double bass and
master drummer Billy Hart.
Don’t
miss this one. Monday 14th November. Contact Sage Gateshead ’s
