Eddie Henderson is a true jack-of-all-trades. As a child, he fell in love with the sound of the trumpet, then wanted to become a figure skater, was a practising doctor and is a living jazz legend.

This is no coincidence. Henderson comes from a musical family – his mother was a dancer, his father a singer with the then-famous Charioteers – and learned his musical craft from the very best. He received his first trumpet lesson from Louis Armstrong, and family friend Miles Davis – a big fan of Henderson's sound – convinced him to pursue a career in music. In a career spanning decades, he has played with greats such as John Hardy, Philly Joe Jones, Herbie Hancock, Pharoah Sanders and Mike Nock, and released groundbreaking albums such as "Heritage", “Sunburst” and "Phantoms".

Henderson's playing is characterised by his lyrical phrasing, his imaginative improvisations and his use of space and silence in his solos. He also manages to combine traditional jazz styles with more contemporary elements such as funk and soul. Joined by an all star line-up of Piero Odorici, Danny Grisset, Doug Weiss and Mike Clark of Headhunters fame, this is an evening not to be missed.
