  • Willie Cook (Tangipahoa, 11 november 1923 - Stockholm, 22 september 2000) was een Amerikaanse jazz-trompettist. Hij is waarschijnlijk het meest bekend door zijn spel in het orkest van Duke Ellington. Cook groeide op in Chicago en speelde aanvankelijk ook viool, maar koos uiteindelijk voor de trompet. Eind jaren dertig speelde hij in de band van King Perry en in het begin van de jaren veertig bij Jay McShann. In 1942 had hij kort een eigen groep, daarna keerde hij terug naar McShann. Van 1943 tot 1948 speelde hij in het orkest van Earl Hines, waarvoor hij ook arrangementen schreef. In 1948 was hij bij Edwin Wilcox en daarna bij Dizzy Gillespie (1948-1950) en Jimmie Lunceford (1949). In het begin van de jaren vijftig werkte hij met Ella Fitzgerald en Johnny Hodges en in 1951 begon zijn tijd (nl)
