“The Cookers come from the idea of an album called The Night of the Cookers, on which Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan started doing trumpet battles. It’s a special album. All the guys in the Cookers either played with Freddie or Lee. And most of those guys have played also with Art Blakey, so that idea of “burning fire” and that kind of drive is a part of a continuum. That’s part of the Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan thing and The Cookers. So … the Cookers cook!” - Billy Harper...
