about

Clark Terry is one of the greatest and most important trumpeters in
jazz history. Now, Storyville Records presents a live recording with his
fantastic orchestra, Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band – Live in Holland 1979.

The whole band is in great form, and besides Clark Terry himself, this
recording showcases many of the very best musicians from the heyday
of big bands. The band is SWINGING, that also goes for CT’s
introductions of the music and the band.

The live setting of this performance, containing 13 tracks, clearly
inspires both CT and his 16-piece orchestra to even greater heights
than in the studio. The performance culminates with the hit Mumbles,
a track made famous during the many years CT was one of the leading
members of “The Tonight Show Band”.

The repertoire presented here makes way for the entire band with
arrangements by Phil Woods, Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington among
others. CT is not just a brilliant soloist, but also a charming entertainer,
engaging in friendly banter with both the musicians and the audience.

CT’s original style and technique has had a major influence on many
great jazz musicians, including Wynton Marsalis, Art Farmer, Miles
Davis and not least Quincy Jones, who has written a very personal
piece for the liner notes, praising the lifelong mentorship of CT for
many of the greatest American jazz musicians.

CT has played with both Count Basie’s and Duke Ellington’s orchestras.
He made his mark on both orchestras with his great swing and as a
soloist, both on the trumpet and the flugelhorn. CT continued from his
stints with the aforementioned big bands to become one of the most
beloved and sought-after soloists in the history of jazz. Both with his
own orchestras and as a soloist with big bands globally.

CT died in 2015, at the age of 94, but his music is destined to live on
forever. He has received numerous awards and honors, including a
Grammy Award and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.

On Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band – Live in Holland 1979, the whole band
is in fine form with a cheerful approach in every note played, amply
illustrating why CT is considered to be one of the greatest trumpet
players in the history of jazz.

This is Clark Terry’s Big Bad Band at its very best.

Pure Jazz! Pure Joy! Man these guys are playing some smokin' hot tunes! I got drawn in by Pilgrim's Progress, but had to go outside Bandcamp to sample the other tracks. Not every fan will do that and Sunyside Records is doing their roster a disservice by not allowing the entire album to be heard. Top notch drummer, composer and one hell of a band. Rob O.
