Outer Drive - Clayton Buck 1961.
Recorded in Belgium in a relaxed studio setting we see the Buck Clayton All Stars jamming. The musicians with Buck on trumpet are Emmett Berry trumpet, Earle Warren alto sax, Buddy Tate tenor sax, Sir Charles Thompson piano, Gene Ramey bass and Oliver Jackson drums
Great little band, there's a CD recorded in Basle, 2 May 1961 with this track on.
Swiss Radio Days Jazz series.

"looks and sounds like Charlie Shavers." This is Emmett Berry, a major swing trumpeter, one of the few men who was featured soloist with both Fletcher Henderson and Basie.
"Will you have a drink of Doctor Berry's rootin' tootin' oil?" (EB, offering a flask of whiskey to a member of the Golden Gate Quartet.)
"Let that be a lesson to you. You goddam singers don't fuck with us musicians." (EB, after hitting Jimmy Witherspoon on the head with his trumpet for fighting with Sir Charles Thompson.)

They are not jamming but playing an arrangement by Buck of a tune written by him.

Emmet Berry sure looks and sounds like Charlie Shavers. Wonder if it was a contractual thing where he couldn't use his real name.
