Spanish Rice is the 1966 album by Clark Terry & Chico O' Farrill. Originally released by Impulse, this was released by the Verve Music Group on 9 March, 2004 and is remastered by someone not mentioned in the credits.
Clark Terry joined forces with Cuban bandleader Chico O'Farrill for these 1966 studio session, which consist almost exclusively of Latin tunes. Although there are a number of all-stars present in addition to Terry, including trumpeters Joe Newman, Ernie Royal, and Snooky Young, along with guitarists Everett Barksdale and Barry Galbraith, the solos are all by Terry, so there is little interaction in these brief charts. Terry is in top form, as always, with his rich flügelhorn in "Angelitos Negros" and his fat-toned trumpet in an original blues called "Joonji." Terry and O'Farrill collaborated on the narrative comic original "Spanish Rice," though it isn't particularly memorable. Terry's modification of the lyrics to "Happiness Is" salutes a number of fellow jazz greats (particularly his impression of Louis Armstrong's singing), though the anonymous vocal group that accompanies him is quite forgettable. This is a fun recording that had the potential to be a memorable one, but it falls a bit short.

Spanish Rice has all the ingredients for a successful Latin music session: clattering percussionists, a couple of guitars, peppy horns'there's even a recipe for Spanish rice included for the curious. And one can assume that Chico O'Farrill, who almost singlehandedly pioneered the use of Latin music in a big band context, is certainly up to the task of establishing a Latin groove with a depth of expression and artistry not present in similar music from the era. But what really edges this 1966 recording into compelling avenues is the presence of Clark Terry, who applies the right amount of sizzle or sultriness to his soloing as the moment calls for.

Songs like 'The Peanut Vendor' and 'Macarena' (no, not that one) deliver on the enthusiasm and exuberance promised from the cover, creating an addictive groove that percolates through the entire album. However, although filled with swagger and joyful exuberance, if there's one major drawback, it's that the material can seem too insubstantial at times. 'Spanish Rice,' for example, features a humorous exchange between O'Farrill and Terry, and a doctored 'Happiness Is' pokes fun lyrically at several important jazz figures; both are amusing, but neither all that satisfying in the long run.

Despite the few misfires, Terry and O'Farrill serve up a rather tasty assortment of Latin melodies and exotic rhythms. Sure, they weren't the most successful commercially at this type of Latin instrumental music, but which is the heartier meal: whipped cream (and other delights) or Spanish rice'
