Color Changes is an album by trumpeter Clark Terry featuring performances recorded in the early 60s and originally released on the Candid label.[2] [3]
Scott Yanow of Allmusic says, "This is one of flügelhornist Clark Terry's finest albums. Terry had complete control over the music and, rather than have the usual jam session, he utilized an octet and arrangements by Yusef Lateef, Budd Johnson, and Al Cohn. ...The material, which consists of originals by Terry, Duke Jordan, Lateef, and Bob Wilber, is both rare and fresh, and the interpretations always swing. Highly recommended".[4] Describing it as the leader's best album, The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings says that the variety of tones provided by the arrangement of the various horn players is particularly striking.
