The legendary trumpeter has taken that mantra to heart with his album “Be Cool,” which shows just how hot cool can get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOf course, if you’re going to be cool it helps to surround yourself with the coolest of the cool, and Henderson has done just that: his smokin’ quintet also features saxophonist Donald Harrison, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Essiet Essiet, and drummer Mike Clark. Together, the band conjures smoldering funk, lush ballads, broad-shouldered swing, and bristling bop — in all, a prismatic display of the many facets of cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHenderson asks the same of his sidemen; hence, Barron’s uncharacteristically funky “Smoke Screen,” which opens the album on a lively note. “Usually you don’t hear Kenny playing funky like that,” Henderson says. “He’s a consummate pianist and a consummate trio player, but he really rose to the occasion on this Horace Silver-type tune.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFrom now on, Eddie Henderson has a ready response whenever his wife chimes in with her regular reminder. With scintillating interpersonal chemistry, tasteful but captivating soloing, and a stellar melodic sense, one spin of this album is enough to prove that Henderson has taken the words “Be Cool” deeply to heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ereleased May 4, 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEddie Henderson – trumpet\u003cbr\u003e\nDonald Harrison – alto saxophone\u003cbr\u003e\nKenny Barron – piano\u003cbr\u003e\nEssiet Essiet – bass\u003cbr\u003e\nMike Clark – drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRecorded Live on October 31, 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nat Sear Sound Studio C, New York City\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProduced by Paul Stache\u003cbr\u003e\nAssociate Producer: Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nRecorded, Mixed and Mastered by Christopher Allen\u003cbr\u003e\nStudio Assistant: Grant Valentine\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotography by Jimmy and Dena Katz\u003cbr\u003e\nPerformance photo by Natsuko Henderson\u003cbr\u003e\nLiner Notes by Nate Chinen\u003cbr\u003e\nDesign by Damon Smith and Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eKenny Barron appears courtesy of Impulse!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eExecutive Producers: Frank Christopher \u0026amp; Paul Stache\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smoke Sessions Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56382099161470,"sku":"SSR-1802-LP","price":133.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/4161\/5230\/files\/SSR-1802-LP.jpg?v=1760095018","url":"https:\/\/8merch.shop\/products\/eddie-henderson-be-cool-2lp","provider":"8Merch Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
