Acclaimed 2021 Album on Double LP!
Japanese Edition with OBI Strip!
Custom Etching on 4th Side!

JazzTimes' The Top 40 Jazz Albums of 2021 - Rated 27/40!

TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 5/5 Sonics in the January 2022 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

In jazz's heyday era of the heady '60s and early '70s, these cats were behind some of the greatest releases of the genre, from Pharaoh Sanders' Karma to Charles Lloyd's Forest Flower. Collectively they've performed and recorded with the likes of Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, and McCoy Tyner. Together they carry forth this legacy as The Cookers, one of the 21st century's foremost supergroups.

Look Out! is their first album in 5 years and the first to be recorded at Van Gelder's historic Englewood Cliffs studio. Featuring all original compositions, the music embodies the name of this illustrious ensemble - hot, hard-hitting soul jazz, full of momentum and fire.

genuine all-stars
-The Guardian
Individually, they've been at the core of the post-bop jazz scene for decades. As a group, they've been thrilling audiences around the world for the past 5 years.
-NPR
A dream team of forward-leaning hard-bop
-The New York Times
The two-trumpet front line gives the group a unique sound, but a comparison to the classic Art Blakey sextets that featured trumpet, trombone, and tenor would not be amiss...The Cookers deserve the label 'supergroup' not just because the roster is stacked with all-stars but because they play together so well. Look Out! was recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio and Gearbox's pressings are, as always, superb.
-Duck Baker, The Absolute Sound, January 2022, Music 4/5, Sonics 5/5
