Recorded Live at The Jazzclub Container in Uster, Switzerland
9 December 1993

As with most Clark Terry sets, this is a fun session. The classic flugelhornist teams up with the talented altoist George Robert, pianist Dado Moroni, bassist Isla Eckinger and drummer Peter Schmidlin during a live date recorded at a club in Switzerland. Most of the music is straight-ahead bebop, and C.T. is in prime form, with the highlights including Chris Woods' familiar "Somebody Done Stole My Blues," "Perdido," "Salt Peanuts" and "I Don't Want to Be Kissed." On the encore blues "Steppin' on the Roaches," C.T. gets to do some ad-lib "mumbling" to typically hilarious effect. His fans will want this one, put out by the German Mons label. ---Scott Yanow, Rovi

Recorded live in Warsaw, on April 9, 1978.

An amazing 1978 live performance in Poland by Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band!

This edition contains two Clark Terry performances from the mid 1970s, each showcasing the trumpet/flugelhorn player in a different context. Born in Saint Louis, Missouri, on December 14, 1920, Clark Terry began his career in the early 1940s and achieved long-lasting fame playing in some of the best big bands in jazz history. He was with Charlie Barnet in 1947, Count Basie between 1948 and 1951, Duke Ellington from 1951 to 1959 and Quincy Jones in 1960. Terry also recorded regularly with small groups and was part of the Thelonious Monk Octet in the late sixties (he can be seen here playing Monk’s blues “Straight, No Chaser”). Active at well past 80-years old, he remains one of the last living jazz legends. As a leader, Clark Terry recorded several albums and fronted a noted quintet featuring trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, as well as a short lived but outstanding big band, which he called the “Big Bad Band”. With the latter he is heard on the first of the performances here, a live concert recorded in Warsaw, Poland, on April 9, 1978. Among the best known names of the band during that gig, are trumpeter Willie Cook, who had been in the Duke Ellington orchestra, trombonist Sonny Costanzo and bassist Victor Sproles. The drummer seems to be a Polish replacement (he never recorded with Terry again). Our bonus album, Summit Meeting, recorded in 1976, marked a new collaboration between Terry and James Moody (both had recorded together many times in different contexts since 1961). Terry’s recorded works with Bunky Green, on the other hand, are limited to this album, a single tune (“Feeling”) from Green’s album Transformations also recorded in November 1976, and Terry’s 1990 album Having Fun, for which Green collaborated on just one number (“Don’t Blame Me”). Terry’s recorded works with Elvin Jones are equally scarce. --- jazzgazeta.blox.pl

Kapitalny koncert Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band z Warszawy z roku 1978 był wielkim wydarzeniem w obozie demoludów. Nieczęsto się zdarzało aby za żelazną kurtynę zaglądał jazzowy zespół, który atomową energią sceniczną mógłby zagrozić twardemu rdzeniowi systemu socjalistycznego. Siedemnastoosobowy zespół w iście brawurowy sposób zaprezentował istotę big bandowego grania, skrzące się bluesem kompozycje, soczyste solówki, karkołomne pełne sonorystycznej odwagi partie dęciaków. Jednym słowem święto radości i wolności, gdzie spotyka się pierwiastek ludyczny z transowym. Wszystko to bardzo intrygujące i jednocześnie dalekie od banału i jazzowej sztampy

Zespół prowadzony przez znakomitego trębacza Clarka Terrego [grał w orkiestrach Counta Basiego w latach 1948-1951 oraz Duke'a Ellingtona w latach 1951-1959] z jednym Polakiem w składzie [Czesław Bartkowski na perkusji] porwał publiczność i na długo zapadł w pamięć jazzmanom.

Teraz PO RAZ PIERWSZY możemy posłuchać koncertu z płyty kompaktowej, zremasterowane nagranie daje wyjątkową możliwość pełnego obcowania z mistrzostwem Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band. --- Andrzej Majak, jazzgazeta.blox.pl

Gil Evans' historic arrangement of excerpts from George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess folk opera became one of the most important records ever released by trumpeter Miles Davis. But no one else revisited this score until it was transcribed by Jeff Lindberg, (along with Charles Harrison III) for this release featuring guest Clark Terry (who celebrated his 83rd birthday between the recording sessions) with the Chicago Jazz Orchestra, conducted by Lindberg. Not only was Terry an early influence on the young Davis, but he is a far more expressive trumpeter who doubles on flügelhorn, while also possessing a fatter tone, greater range, and more personality on his instruments, though this CD was not intended to eclipse the earlier achievement of Davis. Terry's flügelhorn beautifully projects the emotion of Porgy in the soulful "Bess, You Is My Woman Now," while capturing the pain of Bess in the plaintive "My Man's Gone Now." Terry's touch of humor is displayed in "Fisherman, Strawberry and Devil Crab" and the saucy "It Ain't Necessarily So." He switches to muted trumpet for the lightly swinging "Summertime." Terry's vocals, always a favorite of his fans, are heard in the brief rendition of "Here Come de Honey Man," complete with the usual jocular asides typical when Terry sings. The CD is wrapped with the boisterous celebration "There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York." Throughout the sessions, the orchestra provides superb accompaniment for its special guest, while Art Hoyle joins Terry as a second flügelhorn soloist for the one original by Evans, "Gone." This is a very fitting salute to the earlier album by Miles Davis and Gil Evans which easily exceeds the expectations of typical re-creations of historic sessions. ---Ken Dryden, Rovi

This is one of flügelhornist Clark Terry's finest albums. Terry had complete control over the music and, rather than have the usual jam session, he utilized an octet and arrangements by Yusef Lateef, Budd Johnson, and Al Cohn. The lineup of musicians (C.T., trombonist Jimmy Knepper, Julius Watkins on French horn, Yusef Lateef on tenor, flute, oboe, and English horn, Seldon Powell doubling on tenor and flute, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Joe Benjamin, and drummer Ed Shaughnessy) lives up to its potential, and the charts make good use of the sounds of these very individual stylists. The material, which consists of originals by Terry, Duke Jordan, Lateef, and Bob Wilber, is both rare and fresh, and the interpretations always swing. Highly recommended. ---Scott Yanow, AllMusic Review
