Eddie Henderson
Born:
Eddie Henderson is one of today's top and most original jazz trumpet players. Henderson was born in New York City October 26, 1940. His father sang with the Charioteers, and his mother danced as one of the Brown twins at the Cotton club. Louis Armstrong gave Eddie his first few trumpet lessons at the age of nine.Eddie moved with his family to San Francisco when he was 14 years old. He studied at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music from 1954 to '56. Around 1956, Miles Davis was guest at Eddie Henderson's home during a black Hawk Jazz Club gig and was impressed with Eddie's ability to perform his famous "Sketches of Spain" without a fluff but encouraged Henderson to seek his own originality.

Freddie Hubbard: On Fire: Live From The Blue Morocco
by Pierre Giroux
Freddie Hubbard was never one to play it safe.

The all-encompassing technique was displayed in so many contexts, with Art Blakey, Ornette Coleman, John ...
