I had no idea that Clark Terry and Wayne Shorter had ever played together. I had even less of an idea that Clark sat in with Wayne's quartet at Newport. In 1986. Or that video of this encounter exists. And is on YouTube.
Internets, sometimes you bring me down, but how can I stay mad?
Remember, this is the kind of playing that led former (thank the FSM) New York Times jazz critic Peter Watrous to observe that "[Shorter's] work on soprano saxophone leads directly to Kenny G." Yeah. That's it. Totally.
(Thanks to Rick Perlstein for bringing this to my attention. Buy his book, fercrissakes.)
