For this week's Audio Archive post, we once again visit the extensive catalog of trumpeter and St. Louis native Clark Terry for The Power of Positive Swinging, a 1965 album that teams him with Kansas City native Bob Brookmeyer.Originally was issued on the Mainstream label and preserved online via the music sharing blog Musica des Delas Antipodas, the session features Terry on trumpet and flugelhorn and
Brookmeyer on valve trombone, backed by a rhythm section of Roger Kellaway (piano), Bill Crow (bass) and Dave Bailey (drums). (The album also was issued on CD in 1993, but that edition has gone out of print.)
The track listing is:
01: Dancing on the Grave (Brookmeyer) 2:31
02: Battle Hymn of the Republic (arr. Brookmeyer, Terry) 3:29
03: The King (Basie) 5:41
04: Ode to a Flugelhorn (Terry) 5:36
05: Gal in Calico (Robin, Schwartz) 6:02
06: Green Stamps (Brookmeyer) 5:07
07: Hawg Jawz (Terry) 2:23
08: Simple Waltz (Terry) 5:17
09: Just an Old Manuscript (Redman, Razaf) 7:31
