St. Lucia may not be the most likely setting for a jazz show, but this 84-minute concert by veteran trumpeter Clark Terry, recorded on that Caribbean island in 2001, is an absolute delight. The Kansas City classic "Moten Swing" and the Duke Ellington standard "Take the 'A' Train" reveal the influence of Duke Ellington and Count Basie, with whom Terry once played; but the trumpeter and his excellent quintet (alto saxophonist Donald Harrison and drummer Victor Lewis are especially good) also navigate more modern waters, including a take on Miles Davis's "All Blues" and Terry's own "Quicksand," a burning, bopping blues. Terry, whose use of a mute on his horn is one of his trademarks, is a swinging, sophisticated player; he's also an amusing raconteur (an 11-minute interview is the principal DVD bonus feature), and his own vocal tune ("My Gal") is downright hilarious. Jazz lovers are in for a treat. --Sam Graham
