Live at Montmartre, Copenhagen, June 9, 1975
This previously unreleased music was recorded live by Danish Radio at the famous jazz club Montmartre, in Copenhagen, in June, 1975. The CD consists of seven tracks (69 minutes), and the repertoire is a round blending of blues, standards and modern jazz, including tunes like Garners Misty, Bye Bye Blackbird, Ellingtons Satin Doll, and The Theme. Because Terry and Wilkins had been close friends, privately and musically, since their childhood in St. Louis, there is a special communication and relaxed cohesiveness in their playing, not least of all because of their years together in the Count Basie Orchestra. Wilkins is best known for his great talents as composer and arranger for big bands - especially Basie and countless jazz singers - while Terry is a premier trumpeter and flugelhorn player, famous as a soloist and as side-man in Basies orchestra. The band on this CD was on a European tour at the time of this Montmartre gig, and were a tight, relaxed unit, featuring a fabulous rhythm section. High professionalism and a relaxed, good feeling make this first-time release a perfect tribute to two old friends from St. Louis, who are two of the top names in modern jazz today.
