Drummer Mike Clark knows the jazz drumming lexicon and is carrying on the true tradition with his fiery playing. On Summertime he features Billy Childs on piano, Chris Potter and Bob Sheppard on saxophones, James Genus and Robert Hurst on bass, and Jack Walrath on trumpet. Nine songs by several jazz masters comprise the program, including three Wayne Shorter songs and two compositions written by pianist Jeff Pittson. Mike Clark is sensational on the opening track, "Brujo." Clark queues it up and sax master Chris Potter takes over with a dynamic solo on soprano saxophone that takes you to the edge of the song's destiny compliments of his stellar improvising. Billy Childs is smoking on his solo and brings a solid groove that testifies to his many years of playing with Mike Clark. The funk master now shows that he is a jazz master on this track with his great Krupa-style drumming that is wide open, intense, and just outright brilliant. One of the best bets on this set is the opening track, "Summertime," for the new rendition that literally snags you from the first note. Add this to your collection and place it alongside Mike Clark's brilliant playing on such landmark CDs as Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters and Return of the Headhunters, on which Clark appears and firmly establishes himself among jazz's elite drummers.

Mike Clark
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Hard Bop
Mike Clark is a fine contemporary drummer whose reputation and profile have risen dramatically in the '90s. His reputation started in the seventies when he was a regular drummer for The Headhunters and has also sat it with Chet Baker, Woody Shaw and Bobby McFerrin. He's mainly recorded for Stash, but recently did session for Enja. He became known in hip-hop circles as one of the most sampled drummers used on tracks. Clark knows the tradition, can anchor groups, drive rhythm, inspire soloists and when given the spotlight plays with imagination and verve. He released his first solo project , Actual Proof in 2000. A collaboration with Paul Jackson and Marc Wagnon filled the time between records, and in 2003 he released Summertime, a fine fusion showcase of his impressive percussion skills.
