Larry Ridley: It was a club that wasn’t really noted for presenting a lot of jazz. But how that came about was several of the musicians that were living in Brooklyn, like Bobby Timmons’ wife Stella [Estelle Timmons], and Freddie Hubbard’s wife at the time Brenda [Hubbard], and Cedar Walton’s wife, they had a club -- and Charles Davis’ wife [ Lori Samet Davis], I think she was involved as well – they had formed a club called the Club Jest Us. They were musicians’ wives who wanted to do something to promote their husband’s careers and so they rented the Club La Marchal in order to present this evening, which ended up being called “The Night of the Cookers” and that recording [where Harold Mabern was also present]. Freddie had the foresight to record that; Orville O’Brien did the recording and then what came out on the recording was Rudy Van Gelder remastered it from the original tapes had put together. I thought at first that the early mastering of it by Rudy [Van Gelder], to me it lost some of the fidelity that Orville [O’Brien] had gotten, but Rudy [Van Gelder] remastered it later.
