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
