Serenade To A Bus Seat — Clark Terry Quintet (Riverside Records, 1957)

Recorded on this date in 1957.

Clark Terry was thirty-six and still playing in Duke Ellington's orchestra when he made this record for Riverside. He was moonlighting as a leader, and the quintet he assembled was ridiculous -- Johnny Griffin on tenor, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.

Featured tracks: Serenade To A Bus Seat, Boomerang
