CLARK TERRY/FRANK WESS Big Band Basie *(Rare and Out of Print) Half-Speed Mastered REFERENCE RECORDINGS RR-63 Double LP set
"The band plays with power, precision and good humor ... " --- Chicago Tribune
Clark Terry with Frank Wess, Bob Lark & the DePaul University Jazz Ensemble
A tribute to one of the great big-band masters, featuring Basie alumni Clark Terry (trumpet / flugelhorn) and Frank Wess (flute / saxophone).
DePaul University's dynamic big band is back in the spotlight. Both soloists, who have played with the best, gave high praise to these energetic, highly polished musicians.
Recorded in the concert hall at DePaul University by engineer "Prof." Keith Johnson.

Review by Scott Yanow
... features flugelhornist Clark Terry and Frank Wess (doubling on flute and tenor) on half of the selections and the orchestra (under the direction of Bob Lark) is fairly strong. The big band interprets a dozen songs from the Count Basie repertoire (plus "Winter Wonderland") with solid swing and good musicianship. Still, it is the numbers with Terry and Wess that are of greatest interest and the real reason to acquire this set.
