In 1994, Clark Terry took to the stage at the New Morning Jazz and Blues Festival in Geneva alongside his quartet, All Stars, composed of Dado Moroni on piano, Pierre Boussaguet on bass, and Alvin Queen on drums. He begins the concert with a trumpet solo, every note emanating his particular energy, one of warmth, sincerity and musical generosity. This mood sustains for the first part of the concert, with the group rolling out the solos, devoting themselves to jazz standards such as "Bye Bye Blackbird", Misty" and "Perdido" to name a few from this enthralling set. Clark Terry, the man who inspired the careers of Quincy Jones and Miles Davis, the man who played with Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and all the greats of the era, remains one of the most recorded and award-winning artists in history. ~ extract by Anaïs Christidis Guillemard.
