Album Notes

Doug Clarke is an exciting and inventive guitarist. He studied for many years with the legendary guitarist Tal Farlow, from whom he gained keen insight into the melodic and harmonic complexities of bebop and traditional jazz. As a highly sought after sideman, he has developed into an exceptional and innovative modern guitarist. Bassist Gary Mazzaroppi has played with a list of musicians that reads like a Who's Who in jazz, including Tal Farlow, Jim Hall, Les Paul, Stan Getz, Marion McPartland, Joe Morello, Lionel Hampton, and many others. His virtuosity and versatility can be heard here, as his concept and approach on this recording is truly modern.
