EDDIE
HENDERSON trumpet
Born 26 October 1940, New York City, New York, USA. Henderson
learned the trumpet at school and studied music at the San Francisco
Conservatory of Music (1954-57). There followed three years in the
Air Force. He was already playing enough music to be encouraged by
Miles Davis to develop his jazz. He returned to academic study,
graduating in zoology (1964) and then in medicine (1968) and since
1975 has continued to work as a general practitioner and
psychiatrist alongside his musical career. During summer holidays he
played with John Handy and then with Handy and Philly Joe Jones when
he graduated. He played with Herbie Hancock's sextet (1970-73)
before spending six months with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Since
then he has led his own jazz-rock groups and even achieved chart
success with a track from Comin'
Through (1977). At the end of the 90s he
was recording with Joe Locke, Kevin Hayes, Billy Drummond and Ed
Howard. (...)
Eddie
Henderson was one of the few trumpeters who was strongly influenced
by Miles Davis' work of his early fusion period. He grew up in San
Francisco, studied trumpet at the San Francisco Conservatory of
Music, but was trained to be a doctor when he permanently chose
music. Henderson worked with John Handy, Tyrone Washington, and Joe
Henderson, in addition to his own group. He gained some recognition
for his work with the Herbie Hancock Sextet (1970-1973), although
his own records (which utilized electronics) tended to be
commercial. After Hancock broke up his group, Henderson worked with
Art Blakey and Mike Nock, recorded with Charles Earland, and later,
in the 1970s, led a rock-oriented group. In the '90s, he returned to
playing acoustic hard bop (touring with Billy Harper in 1991) while
also working as a psychiatrist. (Scott
Yanow, All Music Guide)
Of course Dr.
Eddie Henderson can heal the sick as a Doctor of Medicine and
Psychiatry but his greatest gift of healing comes when he picks up
his trumpet and plays like an angel or a devil depending on what
kind of healing you need. I‘ve known Eddie for over ten years
playing together in various situations with people like bassist
Mario Pavone, drummers Matt Wilson, Steve Johns or Sylivia Cuenca,
and often with the Mingus Big Band. I love to play with Eddie as he
always searches for hip ways of playing from the heart and soul. And
Eddie definitely takes no prisoners. He has a beautiful sound on
both trumpet and flugelhorn, has a great ear and his use of various
kinds of mutes is sublime.
I‘ve known of
Eddie for a long time and I always thought of him as being from San
Francisco. But Eddie told me recently that he was born in New York
City and then moved to the Bay area when he was kid. He started
playing trumpet there when he was 10 and began studying music theory
when he was 14 at the San Francisco Conservatory. After serving in
the air force for a couple of years he went on to study zoology and
then medicine at Berkeley and Howard Universities. But it was at
this time that he met Miles Davis who encouraged him to get more
involved with playing jazz. During his summer breaks he often played
with the great saxophone player John Handy and once with drummer
Philly Joe Jones. Two years after graduating with his Doctorate in
Medicine in 1968 he joined the Herbie Hancock Sextet (aka – the
Mwandishi Band). This early experimental fusion band made some
fantastic music that played burning out funky grooves sometimes in
unusual time signatures with lots of free playing, electronic colors
and of course some great solos. Besides Eddie and Herbie the band
included Bennie Maupin (reeds), Billy Hart (drums), Buster Williams
(bass) and Julian Priester (trombone). What a band! Serious
music!!
Eddie stayed
with the Mwandishi band for three years and soon after got a
contract with Capricorn Records for whom he recorded two fantastic
fusion records with the exact same personnel as the Hancock group
but without Julian Priester. The first was called Realization and
the second Inside Out. It was also in 1973 that Eddie joined Art
Blakeys band for six months. Two years later Eddie continued in his
fusion style with two records for Blue Note which were also very
good and then two for Capital who didn‘t really have much of a jazz
department at the time and tried to turn Eddie into some kind of
pop/disco musician. Help! Beginning at the end of the 70‘s Eddie
decided to spend more time at his other profession, as a general
practitioner and psychiatrist. He continued to play with great
musicians like Joe Henderson (who had just moved to the Bay area) as
well as Pharoah Sanders but he wasn‘t as visible as he was in the
70‘s.
Eddie came
back on the scene when he moved to New York about twelve years ago
and began to play with the bands of Kenny Barron, Gary Bartz and
Billy Harper. His career as a leader also perked back up in 1994
when he started to record for Steeplechase and Milestone Records. It
was at this time that he began focusing on his acoustic straight
ahead modern trumpet style. Since his reemergence Eddie has recorded
almost a dozen albums as a leader and a lot more as a sideman. He
has now become one of the most sought after trumpeters in the world.
If you want to hear how good Eddie is check out either Inspiration or Dark Shadows on Milestone
Records or Dreams of Gershwin on Keystone. Or better yet go and see Eddie live. I‘m
sure you‘ll be amazed! (Peter Madsen)
BENNY
BAILEY trumpet
Born Aug. 13, 1925, Cleveland, OH. It is a bit ironic that Benny
Bailey is best known for his contributions to the famous Eddie
Harris/Les McCann Swiss Movement album, since he admitted later on
that he did not care for funky music.
An
extroverted and highly expressive player who has mostly appeared in
boppish settings, Bailey's longtime residence in Europe has resulted
in him gaining less fame (although probably more work) than if he
had spent more time in the US.
Bailey had
some training on piano and flute early in his career, switched
permanently to trumpet, and studied at the Cleveland Conservatory of
Music.
In the early
1940s, he played with groups led by Bull Moose Jackson and Scatman
Crothers. After gigging with Jay McShann, he was with Dizzy
Gillespie's big band from 1947-48, and then became a key member of
the Lionel Hampton Orchestra (1948-53).
The
trumpeter left Hampton during a European tour, settling overseas. He
spent a long period in Sweden, working with Harry Arnold's big band
(1957-59), recording with Stan Getz and touring with Quincy Jones,
1959. A brief visit to the US in 1960 (during which he recorded a
near classic album for Candid, (Big Brass) was followed by his
relocation to Germany.
Bailey has
worked steadily during the past four decades, recording with Eric
Dolphy in 1961, being featured with the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland
Big Band, touring with George Gruntz's Concert Jazz band, and in
1986 becoming a member of the Paris Reunion
Band.
In addition
to the Candid date, Bailey has led sessions for many European
labels, including Sonet, Metronome, Saba, Freedom, Enja, Ego, Hot
House and Gemini, plus an American set in 1978 for
Jazzcraft.
But it is his
explosive solos on "Cold Duck
Time" and "Compared to What" from the
Harris/McCann concert (now also available on video) that made him
most famous. (Scott Yanow, All Music
Guide)
