Mumbles (album)
1966 studio album by Clark Terry
Mumbles Angyumaluma Bongliddleany Nannyany Awhan Yi! Clark Terry featuring tracks recorded in 1964 and originally released on the Mainstream label.[ 1] [ 2]
Reception
Allmusic 's Ken Dryden awarded the album 2½ stars and states "Clark Terry launched his "Mumbles" routine (where he delivered semi-coherent vocals interspersed with scat ) with two numbers on a studio date for Verve led by Oscar Peterson ; this Mainstream LP finds him expanding the concept to album length, with mixed success. Unfortunately, the effort becomes a little too commercial, not only de-emphasizing the jazz element to focus on the vocals, but adding lackluster songs".[ 3] [ 4]
