Great Tribute To Some Legendary Trumpet Players

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This cd features Clark Terry in a quartet setting doing his thing!......his trumpet and flugelhorn playing exhibit the usual happy and joyful sounds that seem to be unique to his playing plus a couple of scat vocals.The selection of music is what makes this album really unique. "Sugar Blues" and "Ciribiribin", for example, are not what you usually expect in Clark's repertoire. All of it is done very well and the trumpet players honored (in order)are: Roy Eldridge, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Fats Navarro, Clyde McCoy, Harry James, and Bunny Berigan. If you like the music of Clark Terry or good trumpet in a quartet setting, you'll enjoy this cd!"
