Jazz trumpet player Eddie Henderson, on his turn, was part of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi-era sextet. 1971's Mwandishi was Herbie Hancock's first release leaving behind the jazz idiom to carve out a new original sound in funk, jazz fusion, and electronic music with the early use of synthesizers. From that era onwards, Henderson played with many other musicians, including Norman Connors, Gary Bartz, Archie Shepp, McCoy Tyner, and Ilhan Ersahin’s trip-hop moniker, Wax Poetic.

"Their capability to unearth deep musical truths stems from decades of sharing stages and bandstands with mythical giants of America's true native art form."
The third musician Ilhan Ersahin enlisted for Silver: Kenny Wollesen, the New York drummer that has recorded and toured with a who's who of artists (from Tom Waits to Norah Jones to genre-defying musician John Zorn), and who is all over records in New York’s vibrant Downtown scene.
