Eddie Henderson was one of few trumpeters who was strongly influenced by Miles Davis' work of his early fusion period. Eddie grew up in San Francisco and studied trumpet at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, but was trained to be a doctor when he permanently chose music. Henderson worked with John Handy, Tyrone Washington, and Joe Henderson, in addition to his own group.

Eddie Henderson gained recognition for his work with the Herbie Hancock Sextet from 1970 to 1973. After Hancock broke up his group, Henderson worked with Art Blakey and Mike Nock and recorded with Charles Earland. In the 1990's he returned to playing acoustic hard bop while also working as a psychiatrist.
