Clark Terry

4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

On his landmark new album, One On One, legendary trumpeter / flugelhorn player Clark Terry performs intimate duets with 14 of the world's greatest living pianists. Conceived as a "tribute" album of sorts, this 96/24 recording spotlights the artistry of not only Terry but also the masters of 20th-century jazz piano and composition: each pianist performs an homage to his or her own jazz hero. As a bonus, every one in this all-star lineup contributes thoughts on these classic artists and a few loving words about Clark Terry for the album's liner notes. A once-in-a-lifetime recording for jazz fans and audiophiles alike.
