This was trumpeter Eddie Henderson’s first album for Blue Note, originally released in 1975.  Featuring a good number of players from Herbie Hancock’s Mwandishi group (of which Henderson was a member) Sunburst is a fine example of the hard driving jazz-funk that Hancock and Miles Davis were pioneering at the time.
