Jazz in Montreux - Clark Terry Sextet '77 


Produced by Norman Granz on 14 July 1977, this concert performance
brought a superb group of all-stars together for a sterling session of straight-
ahead fun. Clark Terry's sextet took on a challenging program of standards and
interpreted each with the ease of veterans. An equitable ensemble balance was
achieved, solos were passed around the stage, and each artist seemed completely
at ease. Each of them proved that with big smiles all around.
