The Bebop Shop : A Swingin' Affair: Blue Notes & Hard Bop Classics : Clark Terry


	Clark Terry: Serenade To A Bus Seat (CD: Riverside Keepnews Collection) Until the mid-Fifties, Clark Terry--who was to become a valued regular on the jazz record scene--had been hidden in the trumpet sections of major orchestras (Ellington, Basie, Hampton). He began his climb to prominence with an appearance on Thelonious Monk's notable Brilliant Corners LP, soon followed by a series of his own Riverside albums, of which this was the first (the title refers to the one-nighters of his big-band past). The contents here are undiluted hard bop: five Terry originals, two standards, one by Charlie Parker. The supporting cast is totally first class for this era; and it's worth noting that two mainstays of the Riverside team of recording artists, Johnny Griffin and Wynton Kelly, were both appearing on the label for the first time.

Clark Terry: Color Changes (CD: Candid) 'Color Changes' is considered by many to be one of the finest albums by trumpeter and pioneer of the flugelhorn in jazz, Clark Terry. Rather than the usual jam session, Terry utilised specific arrangements by Yusef Lateef, Budd Johnson, and Al Cohn for this 1960 date. At the time of this recording, he had recently finished a stint with Charles Mingus' group and one can hear the subtle influence that association had on these sessions. The result is an album which ranges through many moods and many textures, which is why the album was titled, 'Color Changes'. This brand new reissue has been remastered from the original Candid Records master tapes by Bernie Grundman. (Proper Music) Price: £12.99


	Clark Terry & Bob Brookmeyer Quintet: The Complete Live Recordings 1962-65 (CD: Fresh Sound, 2 CDs) This is the spirited Clark Terry-Bob Brookmeyer quintet that was the talk of the town from when they began playing regularly in New York in 1961 until 1965. The group topped the jazz polls at the time – ahead of Miles Davis. Their exuberance and joy in playing was palpable, with Terry, mostly on flugelhorn, tearing through solo after solo with Brookmeyer (valve trombone) as ruggedly convincing. Three different rhythm sections are heard here: pianist Eddie Costa, bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Osie Johnson on the first set from New York’s Half Note club. The London session has local musicians Laurie Holloway on piano, Rick Laird, bass and Allan Ganley, drums. Finally, again from the Half Note: Roger Kellaway, piano; Dave Bailey, drums and Bill Crow, bass. Tenor man, Zoot Sims replaces Terry on two tracks to add to the value of this formidable set of live recordings. (Discovery Records) Price: £25.99


Clark Terry & Ernie Wilkins: Live At Montmartre (CD: Storyville) Price: £13.99


	Clark Terry: Clark After Dark (CD: MPS) The album contains 12 classic ballads. For instance: Nature Boy with its richly woven orchestral tapestry of lush, dark harmonies, and Willow Weep For Me with the brassy-blue big band sound backing Terry's wide-ranging solo, the flowing warmth and depth of November Song, the melancholy of Yesterdays, and the foreboding of Angel Eyes, transformed into an easy double-time swing punctuated by a lush horn and string arrangement before Terry returns with a somber statement of love lost. It's a great album for late-night romancing, or simply lay back in your armchair and enjoy the artistry of one of the most coherent, beautiful sounding players jazz has to offer.
