New CD features:Mike Stern, Chris Morrison, Authur Lipner and Johnny Durkins !!!

Da bassist, composer and educator, mixes Funky grooves with Jazz improvisation on his 2009
recording New Beginings.
It is his 7th release on Hop-N-Bop Records and is being well received by fans in U.S. and Europe.
The new CD kicks into high gear right from the start with Clarkes title track from his previous CD
Can You Hear Me Now, where Mike Stern and his lyrical approach to the guitar take the melody and
then solo were sparks start to fly.
Also the new CD takes advantage of the writing skills of keyboardist Pat Marafiote, penning two
compositions (Hypocriscy & Baghdad Bob) and drummer Chris Stanley, provides one, ( My
Passion) . The Trio also wrote together Insurgents, a composition with startling dynamics, moods
and swings from pianissimo to fortissimo and back again.
The inter play of this trio is quite noticeable, performing together the last 4 years and doing three
European tours as a trio has paid off. The grooves and improvisations throughtout the recording flow
naturally and seamlessly into and out of the compositions.

Clarke's free-flowing compositions showcase plenty of fusion chops, but his rich tone and spaced-
filled lines steal the show" ...Gregory Isola, BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE.
