Synopsis

Product Description
LOUIE & CLARK EXPEDITION 2 is a big band collaboration of drummer Louie Bellson and trumpeter Clark Terry, each an American jazz master in his own right. These 2 legends perform, improvise, mentor and lead a 17-piece big band on an adventure reminiscent of its namesake, the historic Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803. As composer, Bellson calls upon four capable arrangers including Tonight Show bandleader, Tommy Newsom. The opening four movements, The Chicago Suite, form the latest entry into a series of composer Bellson s salutes to American cities. Also of note is a delightful drum feature, Two Guys and a Gal, showcasing three drummers Bellson, Kenny Washington and Sylvia Cuenca. Liner notes written by historian and jazz advocate Nat Hentoff describe the music as a ...celebration of the human spirit that keeps regenerating itself. --Francine Bellson, album producer.

CD Reviews

Still Beyond Category
craig elliott | HIGHLAND, CA United States | 03/12/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The talented Mr. Bellson just keeps on swinging. Check out the track, "Give Me The Good Time" and you'll hear how the Lord blessed him with that - and also with great musicianship. In addition to being a great drummer, Louie is also a great person. So it's no wonder that he attracts the best players for his albums, like Clark Terry for this one.

I would recommend this music highly to anyone who wants to hear the best in big band drumming. Mr. Bellson is still Beyond Category."
One for the big band collection!

"I think this is an innovative and exciting collection of music. I would recommend this for anybody who loves big band music and is especially into listening to real musical and inventive drum solos. I hope there is still more to come from this fine musician and composer."
