In spite of the economic challenges of leading a big band, trumpeter and flügelhornist Clark Terry managed to keep one going for a time in the 1960s and 1970s, recording several valuable albums for Vanguard. This live performance at Buddy's Place in New York City features an all-star cast, including saxophonists Frank Wess, Chris Woods, and Ernie Wilkins, trombonists Eddie Bert and Sonny Costanzo, and others. Wilkins contributed most of the charts for this release, including the barnburning opener, "Modus Operandi," and a great feature for bassist Victor Sproles, "Big Bad Blues." Terry's matchless flügelhorn and trumpet are both generously featured as well, though he hardly hogs the solo spotlight for himself due to the wealth of talent in his band. Out of print for quite some time after the end of the LP era, it has since been reissued on CD by Universe. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
