Clark, Ben, Roger, Gene, Bill and Dave running down Mediation. After this run-down Clark decided to use Roger on Celeste rather than on piano. Gene's effective comping and soloing make this a strong Bossa Nova tune.

Ben takes the solo chores for This Is All I Ask while Clark readies his Fluegelhorn for the last chorus of the tune. Ben's beautiful handling of this ballad reaffirms our faith in him as the ballad king.

Clark stands ready to cue Bill in on the end of More. This happy Bossa Nova tune is a good tribute to the movie Mondo Cane, for which the tune was written.

With horn on lap, Clark prepares the finishing touches on Sid's Mark. This blues was written by Clark for his friend Sid Mark of radio station WHAT in Philadelphia.

Roger, Clark and Dave look over the lead-sheets on The Good Life. The simplicity of Clark's playing on the tune makes it a most enjoyable performance.

Ben, Bill and Clark cook like crazy on Oliver Nelson's Hobo Flats. The train effect at the beginning and end of the tune was accomplished with the voices of Clark, Roger, Dave and Bill with a touch of echo.
