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
