Eddie Henderson Quartet

Concert by Eddie Henderson's quartet at the Jamboree in Barcelona, part of the Barcelona Jazz Festival, as a tribute to Miles Davis on the centenary of his birth.

Eddie Henderson is an American trumpeter and Grammy Award winner with more than six decades of career. This performance is part of the Barcelona Jazz Festival and is conceived as a tribute to Miles Davis. It forms part of a series of short concerts marking the centenary of the births of Davis and John Coltrane in 2026, in which the musicians have a direct or indirect connection with both, through friendship or by having played with them.

Henderson met Davis as a teenager, when he was studying classical trumpet. Davis, a friend of his family, invited him to a concert at the Lighthouse club in California, where Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb were playing. That night changed his life and set the course of his career.

The quartet is completed by Matyas Gayer on piano, Arnie Somogyi on double bass and Stephen Keogh on drums. Jamboree is a Barcelona venue that hosts concerts and shows.
