Clark Terry • The Happy Horns Of Clark Terry

 

Biography by Scott Yanow
Possessor of the happiest sound in jazz, flügelhornist Clark Terry always played music that was exuberant, swinging, and fun. A brilliant (and very distinctive) soloist, Terry gained fame for his "Mumbles" vocals (which started as a satire of the less intelligible ancient blues singers) and was also an enthusiastic educator. He gained early experience playing trumpet in the viable St. Louis jazz scene of the early '40s (where he was an inspiration for Miles Davis) and, after performing in a Navy band during World War II, he gained a strong reputation playing with the big band of Charlie Barnet (1947-1948), the orchestra and small groups of Count Basie (1948-1951), and particularly with Duke Ellington (1951-1959). Terry, a versatile swing/bop soloist who started specializing on flügelhorn in the mid-'50s, had many features with Ellington (including "Perdido"), and started leading his own record dates during that era. He visited Europe with Harold Arlen's unsuccessful Free & Easy show of 1959-1960 as part of Quincy Jones' Orchestra, and then joined the staff of NBC where he was a regular member of the Tonight Show Orchestra. He recorded regularly in the '60s, including a classic set with the Oscar Peterson Trio and several dates with the quintet he co-led with valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer. Throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s, Terry remained a major force, recording and performing in a wide variety of settings, including as the head of his short-lived big band in the mid-'70s, with all-star groups for Pablo, and as a guest artist who provided happiness in every note he played. Terry died on February 21, 2015, at age 94, after an extended battle with diabetes.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Poseedor del sonido más feliz del jazz, el flügelhornista Clark Terry siempre tocó música exuberante, oscilante y divertida. Terry, un solista brillante (y muy distintivo), ganó fama por su voz de "Murmullos" (que comenzó como una sátira de los antiguos cantantes de blues menos inteligibles) y también fue un educador entusiasta. Adquirió experiencia temprana tocando la trompeta en el viable St. Louis jazz de principios de los 40 (donde fue una inspiración para Miles Davis) y, después de tocar en una banda de la Marina durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se ganó una sólida reputación tocando con la big band de Charlie Barnet( 1947-1948), la orquesta y pequeños grupos de Count Basie( 1948-1951), y particularmente con Duke Ellington (1951-1959). Terry, un versátil solista de swing/bop que comenzó a especializarse en flügelhorn a mediados de los 50, tuvo muchas funciones con Ellington (incluida "Perdido") y comenzó a liderar sus propias fechas discográficas durante esa época. Visitó Europa con el fallido Free & Easy show de Harold Arlen de 1959-1960 como parte de la Orquesta de Quincy Jones, y luego se unió al personal de NBC, donde era miembro habitual de la Orquesta Tonight Show. Grabó regularmente en los años 60, incluido un set clásico con el Trío Oscar Peterson y varias fechas con el quinteto que codirigió con el trombonista de válvulas Bob Brookmeyer. A lo largo de los años 70, 80 y 90, Terry siguió siendo una fuerza importante, grabando y actuando en una amplia variedad de entornos, incluso como líder de su big band de corta duración a mediados de los 70, con grupos de estrellas para Pablo, y como artista invitado que brindaba felicidad en cada nota que tocaba. Terry murió el 21 de febrero de 2015, a los 94 años, después de una prolongada batalla contra la diabetes.
