He is equally gifted as a recording artist, performer, composer, conductor, arranger, producer, and film score composer.

An accomplished film and TV composer of more than 70 projects, Clarke's credits include the Academy Award®-nominated Boyz N The Hood, the Tina Turner biopic What's Love Got To Do With It, and Barbershop: The Next Cut. Clarke has garnered three EMMY® Award nominations for Hull High (1991), and Knightwatch (1991), in addition for scoring an episode of Pee Wee's Playhouse (1988).

It will also include a book with liner notes on the music, but there will be another important book in the package.

“It has a book called Notes From The Journey, which is a book that goes from eight years old up until today,” Clarke says. “It has as much stuff as we could fit in there. It’s really nice. I think you guys are going to like it.”
“Last Train to Sanity features brand-new material and fresh takes of beloved jazz-fusion classics,” a press release stated. “The 4EVER band includes drummer Jeremiah Collier, Colin Cook on guitar, Emilio Modeste on tenor sax and clarinet and Jahari Stampley on piano and keyboard. Special guest appearances throughout include a thrilling bass duet with Cameroonian bassist, Armand Sabal-Lecco, a beautiful reimagining of Clarke’s piece “Tradition” with Ruslan Sirota on piano and a duet between Stanley and Salar Nader, one of the most sought-after young tabla players.”]]> 3604 no Arts & Entertainment
