Eddie Henderson is one of today's top and most original jazz trumpet players. Henderson was born in New York City October 26, 1940.

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.
