	Kenny Clarke pictures and biography
		Kenny Clarke was a highly influential if subtle drummer who helped to define bebop drumming.
		Clarke played vibes, piano and trombone in addition to drums while in school.
		The legendary after-hours sessions led to the formation of bop and it was during this time that Clarke modernized his style and received the nickname "Klook-Mop" (later shortened to "Klook") due to the irregular "bombs" he would play behind soloists.

	Clarke Boland Band
		The Kenny Clarke /Francy Boland Big Band claims (through its most eloquent mouthpiece Gigi Campi) to play “any music that is in the spirit of jazz.” It is a pretty wide definition and one that will not offend even those musicians obsessed with the fear of being categorised.
		Kenny Clarke is not widely known for his big—band playing, since the bands he worked with before he joined Dizzy’s great outfit were not issued on record in Europe.
		Kenny Clare describes his first date with the band as “one of the most frightening experiences of my life.” Of course, he knew who he was depping for.

	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Kenny Clarke
		A member of a musical family, Kenny Clarke studied several instruments in high school and began performing as a professional drummer with Leroy Bradley's band in Pittsburgh when he was still a teenager.
		In the early 1940s he was in the house band at Minton's Playhouse, where his association with Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Christian, Bud Powell, and others in an extraordinary series of jam sessions led to the development of the many innovative improvisational techniques that characterized the bop style.
		Clarke's nicknames Klook and Klook-mop were given to him at this time because he observed the then novel practice of interjecting off-beat accents ("klook" and "klook-mop") on the snare and bass drum against the steady pulse.

		Clarke's father, Charles Spearman, was "a trombone player of indeterminate skill but a ladies' man of some distinction" who came from Waycross, Ga. His mother, Martha Scott, was a native Pittsburgher and an accomplished pianist.
		Kenny said he was looking for a picture of his mother, something to help him remember her, but George did not believe him and beat him.
		Those stand-in jobs were followed by Kenny's first regular engagements with a trio led by Gene Jenkins at a cabaret called Derby Dan's and the Leroy Bradley band, which played at the Club Mirador in Homestead and was one of the first bands ever to be broadcast by KDKA radio.

		Both Kenny Clarke and Francy Boland were self-effacing, unassuming characters who were always modest about their own musical accomplishments.
		As I have observed in the past, neither Kenny nor Francy were ever in danger of engulfing one another in explicit mutual admiration.
		Kenny Clarke's light cymbal beat and his characteristic snare drum accents give the music a tremendous vitality.

	Coleman Hawkins feat. Kenny Clarke: Lausanne 1949 - PopMatters Music Review
		In late 1949, jazz titans Coleman Hawkins -- who among his many accolades is credited with no less a distinction than virtually inventing the tenor saxophone as a legitimate jazz instrument -- and Kenny Clarke -- one of the founding percussionists of bebop -- toured France and Switzerland with a pick-up band of European players.
		Despite the presence of the young bopper Clarke, fresh from his fecund collaborations with Parker, Gillespie, and Monk, it is The Hawk who towers over this CD, very much in command of the proceedings.
		It also seems a rather dodgy move to stick drummer Kenny Clarke's name in the title when it sounds like his only instrument is a cardboard box.

	Oldies.com : Kenny Clarke
		Clarke began playing drums as a child and while in his teens played in several bands in his home-town.
		Both in the band and at after-hours sessions at Minton's Playhouse, Clarke began to develop new concepts of jazz drumming.
		After a mid-40s hiatus for military service, Clarke was soon active in recording studios with Gillespie and other modernists, but his skills were also in demand for other, more orthodox sessions and he recorded with stalwarts of the traditional scene such as Sidney Bechet.

		His drumming was an inspiration to the Paris jazz scene and not only for the drummers, he improved many performances by French players by the way he could swing the band.
		During the 1960's he ran a very musical and exciting band called the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Band, Ronnie Scott was one of the Tenor players.
		No doubts Clarke's presence had an influence here, but generally the music has stood the test of time well when you consider that it was recorded 47 years ago!

	DOUGLAS PAYNE: REVIEWS
		Clarke had unfaltering rhythm and a broad sense of swing and Boland, whose always inspired pianistic witticisms were only briefly revealed, proved a gifted composer/arranger of rare insight and exceptional tonal variety.
		In addition to Clarke and Boland, Sahib Shihab shines personably on flute, Fats Sadi finesses the vibes and bongos, Joe Harris covers other percussion and Jimmy Woode, in addition to his signature bass work, offers his pleasant, relaxed vocals on seven tracks.
		While Boland, Woode and Clarke are common to all 16 of these 1967-1969 tracks, it’s not exactly Griff with Milt "Bags" Jackson.

	Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band \| Handle With Care
		There were two big bands that came out of the 1960s that were co-led by drummers and arrangers.
		A good case can be made for the assertion that Clarke and Lewis were the two best big band drummers of the 2nd half of the twentieth century.
		Other outstanding performances are by Sahib Shihab on flute in "Long Note Blues" and "Om Mani Padme Hum." On the latter tune Benny Bailey displays his usual pyrotechnics and shows why he was always considered to be one of the most exciting trumpet players in the jazz scene.
