The Cookers Quintet are a Toronto-based jazz combo, with a sound firmly rooted in the ‘50s and ‘60s hard bop movement. Inspired by the 1965 Blue Note recording “Night Of The Cookers” featuring Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan, the group cut their teeth on standards at a weekly residency where they developed the inspiration and chemistry to write tunes of their own. Rising to the challenge of updating and performing music with the classic sound of jazz’s golden era, TCQ bring a throwback feel without ever playing it safe. Here’s the new single from The Cookers Quintet. This shuffling smash features the vocals of one of our favourite up-and-coming NYC multidisciplinary musicians, Leron Thomas, who has worked with the likes of Roy Hargrove, Robert Glasper, and Bilal.
