Reviews:
"One of Thelonious Monk's rare appearances as a sideman is on this quartet set led by flügelhornist Clark Terry. With bassist Sam Jones and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Terry and pianist Monk perform a set that surprisingly has only one Monk song ("Let's Cool One"). Among the high points of this spirited, boppish date are Terry's "One Foot in the Gutter" and "Argentia." AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow.
"Since its adoption as a second horn by various jazz trumpet men, the flugelhorn is turning up in unexpected places, sprouting in the brass sections of big bands to lead a mellow tone on a ballad or appearing at a recording date where its sound, somewhere between a trumpet and a French horn, is in increasing demand. This opening wedge is broadened appreciably on this unusual album, which contrasts sharply with the one Miles Davis made playing the arrangements of Gil Evans with a large orchestra. Clark Terry is intent on deft improvisation and his five originals are constructed with emphasis on a sturdy blues flavor. To show off the possibilities of the instrument, he indulges in a few eccentricities and witty half-valve effects that find a ready response from his piano accompanist, the undaunted Thelonious Monk.
Together they cleave a straight blues-oriented path on One Food in the Gutter, a strong Terry theme with a telling exposition by Monk. He contributes Let’s Cool One, spotlighting drummer Philly Joe Jones on their first meeting at a session, and bassist Sam Jones completes the quartet. A Latin interlude, Moonlight Fiesta, comes from Juan Tizol, a mate of Terry’s in the Ellington band. Sara Cassey wrote Very Near Blue for the date, and there is a sensitive Trust in Me. The fluegelhorn will never replace the trumpet, but after this experience more musicians will be meeting its challenge." The Jazz Tome, by Charles A. Robertson
