This particular CT scan celebrates material created by the great trumpeter and teacher Clark Terry, and was conceived in 2020 (the year of his centenary), only to be postponed by pandemic.

He’s represented by 13 Terry tunes with inventive but straight-ahead arrangements by Masters, bookended by the title-tracks of two 1950s Terry LPs, Serenade To A Bus Seat and In Orbit (the latter being the last album where Thelonious Monk appeared as a sideman). The material goes from the sublimely simple (‘Ode To Pres’ is a famous Lester Young phrase repeated as a 12-bar blues) to the ebullience of what’s called here ‘Perdido Line’ (introduced when Clark was in the Ellington band). Schroeder, a fluent Pepper Adams-style baritonist, is the chief soloist though not on every track, and there are numerous solos by less well-known sidemen, the three trombonists and trumpeter Janik being most impressive. Veteran tenorman Sheppard is the biggest name apart from the always excellent Erskine, who holds everything together along with bassist Livingston.

Given the stylistic norms, it’s surprising there’s no 13th musician on piano or guitar, and the tracks don’t have more flamboyant endings. But the feeling is definitely there.
