The Clark Tracey Quintet
Clark Tracey grew up in a jazz environment as the son of Stan
Tracey CBE, the UK's leading jazz pianist, and from an early age took to
the piano and vibraphones. At 13 he started playing the drums and he
turned professional at 17 in 1978 by joining his father's various
ensembles, from trio to orchestra up to the present day. Within that
context he has toured worldwide and recorded extensively. In 2001 Clark
began his own record company, Tentoten Records and in 2007 he formed
Resteamed Records, a label dedicated to his father's works. In 1981 he
formed the first of his own groups with Django Bates, Iain Ballamy and
Andrew Cleyndert. Later groups have included Guy Barker, Nigel
Hitchcock, Mark Nightingale, Julian Arguelles, Gerard Presencer, Alec
Dankworth, Simon Allen, Zoe Rahman, Lewis Wright, Kit Downes, Mark
Armstrong and Henry Armburg Jennings. As well as regular dates in this
country, Clark has performed at numerous festivals and played outside
the UK with his own groups in Europe, the Far East and Australia.
