Review:
This set from the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival was very much a spontaneous jam session. Flugelhornist Clark Terry, who happened to be in town early, was added to vibraphonist Milt Jackson's group at the last moment. When players the caliber of Terry, tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, pianist Monty Alexander, bassist Ray Brown, drummer Jimmie Smith and Jackson get together, one does not have to worry about the lack of rehearsal time. The sextet romps happily through Brown's "Slippery," "A Beautiful Friendship," "Mean to Me," "You Are My Sunshine," the CD's bonus cut "That's The Way It Is" and "C.M.J."; both Terry and Jackson have humorous vocals on the latter.

Reseña:
Este set del Festival de Jazz de Montreux de 1977 fue una jam session espontánea. El flugelhornista Clark Terry, que llegó temprano a la ciudad, se unió al grupo del vibrafonista Milt Jackson en el último momento. Cuando se juntan músicos del calibre de Terry, el saxofonista tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, el pianista Monty Alexander, el bajista Ray Brown, el baterista Jimmie Smith y Jackson, no hay que preocuparse por la falta de tiempo de ensayo. El sexteto retoza felizmente a través de "Slippery" de Brown, "A Beautiful Friendship", "Mean to Me", "You Are My Sunshine", el corte extra del CD "That's The Way It Is" y "C.M.J."; tanto Terry como Jackson tienen voces humorísticas en este último.
