Eddie Henderson - Sunburst (1975)

Eddie Henderson - Sunburst (1975), Rare Groove Series - Blue Note

  My first introduction to Eddie Henderson came via Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi triple trilogy (Mwandishi, Crossings and Sextant) albums that I adore.  In 1975 after leaving Hancock, Henderson grabbed his fellow mates and together they assembled "Sunburst" ....and album that plays like the 4th album in the Mwandishi series to my ears with a bit of Miles Davis (for obvious reasons tossed in).   This album "Grooves" and really offers some great musicianship with some great trumpet and fluegelhorn from Eddie with some nice space keyboards from George Duke and some great drumming of Billy Hart and sex of Bennie Maupin!
