Students experience the music and life of Clark Terry in this ensemble taught by Dave Glasser, the alto saxophonist in Clark Terry’s quintet from 1995-2006. One of the most iconic trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocalists American music has ever known, Clark Terry's style and career fused swing, bebop, studio work, and entertainment. His work in the bands of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, the NBC orchestra, and his ascension to jazz royalty as a respected leader and person, exemplifies his versatility and musicianship. Students will perform many of Clark’s compositions and arrangements such as Serenade to a Bus Seat, The Snapper, Pea-Eye, One Foot in the Gutter, Samba de Gumz, Just an Old Manuscript, Over the Rainbow, Secret Love, Canadian Sunset, and more. The ensemble will carry Clark’s positive, joyous spirit forward.
