COUNTDOWN 2026 COLTRANE FESTIVAL III: Eddie Henderson plus the Vincent Herring Quintet feat. George Cables

$35.00 / $50.00 / $60.00 / $65.00 – Wed & Thu Eddie Henderson – trumpet Vincent Herring – alto saxophone George Cables – piano John Webber – bass Willie Jones III – drums “[Henderson’s] musical wisdom, gleaned during decades spent on the best jazz bandstands, informs every unerring note.” – Downbeat Trumpet legend Eddie Henderson is the special guest with the Vincent Herring Quintet featuring legendary pianist George Cables. The New York Times says Henderson’s “deft feel and plush sound made him a central figure in the worlds of jazz-funk and hard-bop in the 1970s. The Chicago Reader adds, “His progressive, assured, and imaginative improvisations roll out in a glorious sun-splashed tone… he seems to dance through his solos, balancing his quick clockwork technique with bursts of bluesy soul.” The eternally youthful Henderson has proven again that he is still making some of the most important music of his career into his 80s. Henderson is featured alongside old friend and fellow legend, pianist George Cables, in this quintet. All About Jazz writes, “Anyone who is serious about jazz will tell you that George Cables belongs in the pantheon of the greatest jazz pianists.” Finally, it’s all helmed by the incredible Vincent Herring, one of the great alto saxophonists, who the New York City Jazz Record says “has firmly established himself as one of his generation’s masters.”
