‘Out on a Limb with Clark Terry’ is an album by American jazz trumpeter Clark Terry featuring tracks recorded in 1957 and released on the Argo label. For this album Clark Terry assembled a sensational sextet whereby he showcased five of his own tunes and four classic well-known jazz standards. It was a time when the majority of jazz compositions were limited to durations of under three minutes, mainly in line with radio air play. Regardless, Clark and his team still have opportunities to set some soloing in motion, ideally listeners would have to wait another decade to truly experience the mastery of Clark Terry’s musical talents; a priceless early example of his evolving skills.
