Description: The Voice of Clark Terry (vol. 2) - brand new jazz CD Jazz singer Chris Humphrey created this recording with drummer Les Harris, Jr. as a labor of love in tribute to the great jazz trumpeter Clark Terry. Clark Terry was one of the only musicians to play with both Duke Ellington and Count Basie’s orchestras. His sound on the trumpet and flugelhorn is immediately recognizable and his roots in the blues and soulfully felt music are deep and rich. Clark Terry was given an honorary PHD from the University of NH in 1978 and was a regular presence on the campus for many years before his death in 2015. Chris and Les were both on the faculty at UNH when Clark would have his many residencies and played with him many times. Les has written lyrics to Dr. Terry’s compositions and many of his improvised solos. EXCERPT FROM ALL ABOUT JAZZ REVIEW:Chris Humphrey's The Voice of Clark Terry, Vol. 1 is a marvelously unique salute. This recording presents a dozen Terry-composed originals. They are sung superbly by Humphrey with brilliant original lyrics provided by drummer Les Harris As an additional treat, Humphrey s(w)ings "vocalesed" lyrics— again from Harris's pen—to actual Clark Terry recorded solos. It is a monumentally-creative feat and one which, surprisingly, has never been previously attempted. A gaggle of fine jazz trumpet players—each with links to Clark Terry—kicks in with fine background fills and slick improv solos that are CT-spirited.
