5.0 out of 5 stars OP TRIO PLUS CLARK TERRY - WOW!!!!!!!!, June 10, 2007

There will never be a more tight, swinging trio in jazz history than Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and Ed Thigpen. But when you add the brilliant, hysterically funny Clark Terry into the mix, you have an album for the ages, drenched in the blues and consistently swinging.
It kicks off with Brotherhood of Man, a catchy Frank Loesser tune, and from the opening horn call and response with the rhythm section, things are flying. Thigpen's fills are nonpareil, and he drives the band with incredible power and precision. His brushwork on Rondelay is superb. Brown as always lays down a great resonant walking bass line,(he's the upright's standard bearer) and Oscar is at the peak of his powers as a soloist, and very much in control pushing the envelope behind Terry's hilarious Mumbles. Terry is marvelous; both his open and muted horn work are exhilarating and always in great taste. The only misgiving is that the playing time is relatively brief. Recorded in 1964, this album is timeless. Most highly recommended.

Anything by Oscar Peterson is great. Anything by Clark Terry is great. When you add the two together, along with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen, you have better than great music. No one played jazz piano like Oscar Peterson. No one. Clark Terry, in addition to his wonderful jazz chops, was also one of the wittiest and funniest jazzmen around. Mumbles proves that. Fantastic music and laughs as well. How could you possibly do better?

This album desreves nothing less than five stars. It is a pure joy to listen to. I love all kinds of music and wouldn't claim to be a jazz offianado but I know what I like when I hear it. I've never heard anything by Oscar Peterson or Ray brown that wasn't great. All four of these musicians are nothing but tasteful in their playing and I am riveted to the music throughout the entire album.
