The Cookers is comprised of many of the musicians who contributed to the development of this sound and to pushing the music forward from there. While giants in their own right, the members of this ensemble have performed and/or recorded with pretty much every jazz great of the past 40 years including Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Herbie Hancock, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, and Dexter Gordon, to name just a few. The group performs newly arranged versions of classic compositions by Billy Harper, Cecil McBee and George Cables along with works by the other members of the ensemble.

love your blog Bogard, you share some great music, however I'm not sure what you're saying here - that we should go to David Weiss' site for the recording? If so I can't see it there, or anything else by The Cookers in fact.
You find the links to this concert in the first comment as always. I posted the link to David´s site, because you can find more information about the Cookers (just click "Projects").
Hi Bogard, thanks for the explanation. I'm still a bit confused about the links though.
Most of your posts have a megaupload link as the first comment. For this one, the only link I can see is to David Weiss' site (where I had already seen the very useful information about The Cookers project). Either I'm looking in the wrong place - where else are the comments? - or it's still not there.
Thanks, feel free to reply direct if this comment is unnecessary for others to read on the blog - which is one the best out there by the way, you've introduced me to some new and interesting players such as Joo Kraus and Wanja Slavin as well as a lot of rare concerts by more familiar names. I hope you have the commitment to keep it going. I wish you well.
I´m so sorry, just cpied & pasted the wrong link from my master file...
Here is the right links:

(maybe I need some more coffee...)
Bogard, have the coffee, the bastards took me of and i have been grumpy ever since, your great posts are a welcome relief, really wonderful effort. Thank you very much
Wow great band! Thanks! Do you have any live stuff from the Andrew D'angleo Big Band?
THANKS A BUNCH.
I keep coming back to your blog, as some of the best live music in blogland is to be found here. Great stuff, and just love THE COOKERS. Keep it up, my friend
