In addition Clark Tracey has written string arrangements for Claire Martin and Tina May.
As a freelance drummer he has performed at one time or another with virtually every important jazz artist in the UK and an ever expanding list of American and European visitors.
Clark's sources of inspiration are as varied as the genres in which he finds himself, but his main influences are Roy Haynes, Philly Joe Jones, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Art Blakey, Sam Woodyard and Frankie Dunlop.
His achievements have been rewarded three times (1993, 1997 and 2002), from the British Jazz Awards 'Best Drums' category and he received endorsements from Zildjian Cymbals in 1998 and from Vic Firth Sticks and Remo Drumheads in 1999.
Clark Tracey has appeared on tv and radio all over the world, but key moments include "Omnibus" (BBC) with his quintet, "Mercury Music Awards" (BBC) with Sting, "Father & Son" (ITV) with own group and Stan Tracey, "The Paradise Club" (ITV), "Ellington's" (ITV), "Call Me Mister" (ITV), "Blue Note's 50th Anniversary Concert" with Tommy Smith at the Montreux Jazz Festival, plus numerous radio broadcasts with his own groups on Radios 2 & 3. In 1999 Clark got a feature in the motion picture "The Talented Mr. Ripley" starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law (directed by Anthony Minghella) and this year was involved in the soundtrack of motion picture "Alfie" starring Jude Law.
