Stanley Clarke - Standards
Originally released in 2001, this trio session featuring the bassist Stanley Clarke performing jazz and pop standards with the drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler and the pianist Patrice Rushen was re-mastered and reissued in 2006 with two extra tracks, plus a bonus 30-minute DVD containing interviews and four additional tracks. Clarke's first performance on acoustic bass in over two decades, the set features bop classics like "Now's the Time," and "Salt Peanuts," the post-bop "Jeru," and a stately version of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five," as well as jazzy standards like "Mack the Knife" and "Perdido." Clarke's nimble playing skillfully underpins Rushen's confident soloing, while Chancler's buoyant percussion frames and propels each piece.

Personnel: Stanley Clarke (upright bass); Patrice Rushen (piano); Leon "Ndugu" Chancler (drums).
