It’s What’s Happenin’ – Clark Terry – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Clark Terry’s ‘It’s What’s Happenin’’ is a showcase of innovation at the crossroads of jazz tradition and modernity. Released in 1967, this session is propelled by Terry’s inimitable wit and astonishing command of the trumpet and flugelhorn. What sets this album apart is Terry’s introduction of the ‘flugelhornophone,’ a whimsical hybrid instrument that embodies the spirit of experimentation running through the entire record. Joined by a razor-sharp rhythm section, Terry bends classic swing into new, electrifying shapes, weaving together bebop agility and bluesy warmth. The group’s interplay is crisp and alive, with each track offering new surprises—melodic turns, rhythmic twists, and sly humor abound. For collectors, this album stands as a testament to Terry’s role as both a bridge between eras and a fearless sonic explorer. Listening to ‘It’s What’s Happenin’’ is an invitation to witness a master at play—improvising not just with notes, but with the very boundaries of jazz itself. This is an essential addition for anyone who treasures albums that capture the creative pulse of an artist and the genre’s ever-evolving spirit.
