Recorded during the mid-'90s,
The Chicago Sessions features legendary trumpeter
Clark Terry performing with the
Depaul University Big Band under the direction of trumpeter
Bob Lark. Compiled out of two hard--to-find recordings, this is '50s and '60s style big-band bop that should appeal to fans of straight-ahead jazz.
Terry sounds in fine form throughout and it is a joy to hear him showcased within such a large and crisply swinging ensemble. ~ Matt Collar
