Description
|
|
|
|
Terry and his fellow veterans deliver the goods and then some in this thoroughly enjoyable set recorded at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival. Highlights include a pair of swing classics ("Moten Swing" and "Take the 'A' Train"), Miles Davis's modal tune "All Blues" (with a scatted intro), and four Terry originals ("Love, Love, Love," the bop tune "Quicksand," the ballad "Elijah," and "St. Lucia Blues," featuring muted trumpet and a bonus vocal). "Known for his smooth, sweet tone and great facility, Terry was also capable in his early years of creating hair-raising brassy excitement (e.g., on 'Move' and 'Scrapple from the Apple,' 1950). He was a pioneering jazz flugelhornist and a major influence on the young Miles Davis…. He is a witty singer whose 'mumbles' blues are both hilarious and musical."—Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians
