Customer Reviews

What a day!
What a day it must have been in the recording studio as four master musicians came together creating a sensational album in single take tracks. Clark Terry recalls how there "was such a groove that day" in the nice liner notes. Since they finished up in half the time reserved for the studio, for the first time they recorded "Mumbles" where Terry shows off his scatting; it's truly memorable.

This album ranges from the powerful and energetic "Brootherhood of Man" to the sublime "Jim," where Terry seems to be two musicians at once as he uses the mute with great effect. Every track, though, is indespensible.

If you're a dancer, "Blues for Smedley", "Brotherhood of Man", "Mumbles", "Mack the Knife" amongst others are a delight on the floor.

Highly recommended.

Outstanding
This is a truly outstanding disc, playful, musical, tight, and energetic.

Peterson and Terry compliment each other in both fast precise licks and the playful, hilarious music of Mumbles and Incoherent Blues. Musicality is never sacrificed for show. The energy in this album comes from its precision and intensity. I love it!
