CLARK TERRY - THE CHICAGO SESSIONS (CD)

Clark Terry, one of the grand old men of jazz, enjoyed a stellar career as soloist with the big bands of Duke Ellington, Count Basie and The Tonight Show, among others. RR had the grand opportunity to record his fabled trumpet and flugelhorn artistry with Bob Lark and the DePaul University Big Band in two programs, both now out of print. The Chicago Sessions is a cream of the crop selection from both, sonically fine-tuned by Prof. Johnson to sound even better than the originals. Extra added attractions are two tunes with scat vocals by Clark Terry's alter-ego Mumbles.
