He is equally gifted as a recording artist, performer, composer, conductor, arranger, producer, and film score composer. A true pioneer in jazz and jazz-fusion, Clarke is particularly known for his ferocious bass dexterity and consummate musicality. 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). In 2014 he was invited to become a member of the exclusive Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.]]> 3603 no Arts & Entertainment https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/kpfk_260206_190000rockprofile.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/kpfk_260206_190000rockprofile.mp3 Fri, 06 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0800 Last Train to Sanity will feature 15 songs, available in a 2-LP set with a matching CD.
