“CLARK TERRY”

by Ray Harvey

St. Louis Public Radio reports that at 10-years-old Clark Terry made his first trumpet out of junkyard remnants. The neighbors got so sick of hearing it they chipped in and came up with money for a pawn shop horn, and from there Terry said he was never again without a trumpet. By age 30 he had been a soloist with both Count Basie and Duke Ellington and for seven decades he is said to have “performed with the audacity of a riverboat gambler.” In 2015 Clark Terry passed away at age 94, and the following year St. Louis’s Carondelet Community Association commissioned New Haven, Missouri illustrator, fine artist, and muralist Ray Harvey to paint the seventh in their Murals on Broadway series—on S. Broadway near Schirmer St. In addition to 29 years painting, Harvey is one of the few panoramic photographers remaining relying on a 1940’s Panon Widelux swinglens camera.

Clark Terry – Colour Changes (Full Album)

Color Changes is an album by trumpeter Clark Terry featuring performances recorded in late 1960 and originally released on the Candid label.

“This is one of flügelhornist Clark Terry’s finest albums. Terry had complete control over the music and, rather than have the usual jam session, he utilized an octet and arrangements by Yusef Lateef, Budd Johnson, and Al Cohn. The lineup of musicians (C.T., trombonist Jimmy Knepper, Julius Watkins on French horn, Yusef Lateef on tenor, flute, oboe, and English horn, Seldon Powell doubling on tenor and flute, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Joe Benjamin, and drummer Ed Shaughnessy) lives up to its potential, and the charts make good use of the sounds of these very individual stylists. The material, which consists of originals by Terry, Duke Jordan, Lateef, and Bob Wilber, is both rare and fresh, and the interpretations always swing. Highly recommended.” – Scott Yanow/AllMusic .
