Drummer Mike Clark, the funkmaster, now shows us that he is a jazzmaster. The bicoastal musician, known primarily for his phenomenal drumming on the landmark "Headhunters" album by Herbie Hancock, has chosen top players from both Los Angeles and New York for this CD. They perform a variety of tunes, including two jazz classics by Wayne Shorter, originals by Jeff Pittson, Frank Perowsky and Ben Perowsky, a very unique treatment of George Gershwin's "Summertime," and much more. Mike is joined by pianist Billy Childs, saxophonists Chris Potter and Bob Sheppard, trumpeter Jack Walrath, and bassists James Genus and Robert Hurst.
