4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tribute To Some Legendary Trumpet Players, November 4, 2002

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!

Take the styles of the greatest trumpeters and hand them to Clark Terry to immortalize and you get a great musical experience and a history lesson that tickles the ears with delight. I love Clark Terry, live, studio, the guy never fails to entertain. Saw him in a small lounge in New Orleans and he roused a group of tired insurance executives with his patter and playing. It was a tough room but he played it and owned it. Never pass up a chance to hear him. Ever.
