Clark Terry - Colour Changes (Vinyl)
A clear flugelhorn rumble from Mumbles
One of the more intelligent jazz musicians, Clark Terry has a distinctive flugelhorn sound, as well as a knack for some wonderfully sardonic blues singing, earning him the nickname Mumbles. He’s also a happy fella: a nice change in a genre that often thrives too much on tragedy. Earning his stripes with the likes of Count Basie and Duke Ellington, Terry has a mighty list of recordings behind him and this is, arguably, his very best. Using arrangements from the likes of Yusef Lateef, Budd Johnson and Al Cohn, and musicians such as Seldon Powell on tenor and flute, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Ed Shaughnessy, this is an album that always swings. A 1960 release, the recording is always lively, but it’s the excellent mix of distinctive solos and the intelligent blend of the music that allows the album to shine. Sheer class.
