clxxx. SURMAN, John / DeJOHNETTE, Jack: Merry Pranks (Jester's Song)

clxxx. SURMAN, John (1944-       ) / DeJOHNETTE, Jack (1942-       )

Merry Pranks (Jester's Song) (1981)
JS, bass clarinet
JD, drums
(2:55)


from The Amazing Adventures of Simon Simon.


A jaunty tune in three, these two guys sound like a whole orchestra! Surman starts in the bass clarinet's lowest range and then moves way up to the top.

DeJohnette simply swings.

A justifiably highly regarded album already three decades old!
