Synopsis

Album Description

Clark Terry is one of the most important and beloved figures in jazz. His roots go back to the bands of Charlie Barnet, Charlie Ventura, Eddie Vinson, and Count Basie, but his career took off when he became a featured soloist in Duke Ellington's band. He was the first Afro-American to join the Tonight Show band, and it was during this stint that he released the first version of "Mumbles". On this album, he reinterprets ten of the world's most famous jazz standards in a more modern jazz groove, and then turns them over to some of today's finest re-mixers in order to bring the songs into the new millennium. The album symbolizes the time crossing of jazz from the 20th to the 21st century, and once again, Clark is on the cutting edge.

CD Reviews

Clark Terry

John R. Roach | Kingston, IL United States | 10/12/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is proves why Clark Terry is such an enduring figure. I'm sure that "jazz purists" (What does that even mean?) will cluck and tisk about this, but if you want something that features Clark in 2 different settings than this CD is right up that alley. The first 6 cuts shows Clark in fine form as he does his "straight ahead" thing and they smoke. The next 6 cuts are his takes literally remixed, by some interesting rhythms and redoing of his melodies. As usual Clark lets us know all about jazz through his "Mumbles" and "Watermelon Man", Sing Sing Sing, and "Take Five"are to this listener new charts for Clark. As usual he brings his unique blend of hip and sense of humor to them and they are very satisfying.

Give it a try. It might not be grammy award winning, but it makes for some fun listening."
