Info zu Wham (Live At Jazzhouse Hamburg)

Dizzy Gillespie called him “the greatest trumpet player on earth”; he was a major influence on the young Miles Davis (they’re both from St. Louis), and with over 900 recording sessions to his credit, Trumpeter-Flugelhornist Clark Terry is one of the most recorded jazz artists. Recording live at the Jazzhouse in Hamburg, Germany, Terry is spurred on by a world-class rhythm section that includes bassist Larry Gales of Thelonious Monk fame. Terry’s warm, personable tone, technical mastery and inventiveness sizzles throughout as he takes on an up-tempo Ellington “Perdido” and exhibits his famous “mumbles” scat singing style on “Jazzhouse Blues”. Wham! With quotes and asides galore, it’s a merry musical go ‘round.

„Clark Terry's mid-'70s concert at the Jazzhouse in Hamburg, Germany, finds the trumpeter and fluegelhornist in top form. Most of the material had been a part of Terry's repertoire for years at the time of the concert. He alternates back and forth between fluegelhorn and muted trumpet (with one in each hand) in a brisk arrangement of 'Perdido.' He sticks to fluegelhorn for most the remaining tracks: His playing is full of humor during 'On the Trail' (from Grofe's 'Grand Canyon Suite') and a long excursion into 'Wham! (Re-Bop-Boom-Bam)' (inexplicably credited to Dizzy Gillespie instead of Eddie Durham and Taps Miller). Terry also adds a good-natured vocal, as well as his matchless scat singing, to a spirited 'Take the 'A' Train.' Scott Bradford makes a game effort playing a rather out-of-tune piano, while bassist Larry Gales (misspelled 'Gailes') and drummer Hartwig Bartz provide adequate support. The cover photo of Terry playing his fluegelhorn flipped 180 degrees is also priceless. This long out of print LP, with its generous amount of music, is well worth.“ (Ken Dryden, AMG)
