CLARK TERRY - Remember the Time (1993) FLAC (tracks), lossless

The ageless Clark Terry (who although 74 at the time of this recording could pass musically for 44) is teamed up on this CD from the German Mons label with the warm-toned trombonist Mark Nightingale, the talented bopster George Robert on alto, pianist Dado Moroni, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jeff Hamilton. With the exception of two standards (which are mistakenly credited to Terry) and a throwaway version of a Michael Jackson tune, all of the songs are group originals that utilize fairly basic chord changes that are ideal for swinging. Terry's exuberant fluegelhorn is in prime form (he sounds particularly beautiful on "Gypsy" and "The Story of Love" while taking "Gwen" as a duet with bassist Brown) and has a typically humorous vocal on "Hot Sauce." It's an enjoyable outing. Scott Yanow

CLARK TERRY & GEORGE ROBERT - The Good Things in Life (1996) FLAC (tracks), lossless

As with most Clark Terry sets, this is a fun session. The classic flugelhornist teams up with the talented altoist George Robert, pianist Dado Moroni, bassist Isla Eckinger and drummer Peter Schmidlin during a live date recorded at a club in Switzerland. Most of the music is straight-ahead bebop, and C.T. is in prime form, with the highlights including Chris Woods' familiar "Somebody Done Stole My Blues," "Perdido," "Salt Peanuts" and "I Don't Want to Be Kissed." On the encore blues "Steppin' on the Roaches," C.T. gets to do some ad-lib "mumbling" to typically hilarious effect. His fans will want this one, put out by the German Mons label. Scott Yanow
