Mike Clark: Summertime
by Riel Lazarus
It's safe to say that drummer Mike Clark is most commonly associated with funk. Since his days as a member of Herbie Hancock's legendary Headhunters, Clark has been considered one of the foremost trapsmen of the genre. But funk is only a small part of what this veteran artist is capable of, and Summertime may finally ...
A Fireside Chat With Mike Clark
by AAJ Staff
When I was a kid, most my age were tuning in to watch Tootie and Blair on The Facts of Life or Gary Coleman say “Whatcha talkin' bout Willis." I would run home from school to catch What's Happening. Not only was the theme song funky, but Rerun (the best character ever on TV) was a ...
Mike Clark: Summertime

His over-the-top and somewhat slithery approach to a funk groove proved to be a vital component to a group steered by Hancock’s equally ...

Mike Clark/Paul Jackson/Marc Wagnon: Conjunction
by AAJ Staff
As jazz/rock fusions go, Conjunction is something special: it completely refuses to fit into either category. The arrangements are too tight and the improvisation is too sophisticated to label this disc as rock, but the grooves are so backbeat-driven that one could never call it jazz. (Make a special exception for “The Unknown Shuffle," which is ...

Mike Clark: Actual Proof
by Jim Santella
Using original compositions that serve as mainstream jazz anthems, drummer Mike Clark has created a program around his taste for rhythmic drive and small band creativity. Fusion, funk and ballads sit under the umbrella of Clark’s design; however, they’re tempered with tradition. Fluid trumpet and tenor saxophone solos grace “The Viper" accompanied by just the acoustic ...
