Gingerbread Men is an album by trumpeter Clark Terry and trombonist Bob Brookmeyer featuring tracks recorded in 1966 and originally released on the Mainstream label.

Reception

Allmusic's Jason Ankeny awarded the album 4 stars and stated, "Perhaps because trumpeter Clark Terry and trombonist Bob Brookmeyer spent the majority of their respective careers as sidemen, they retain a remarkable spirit of generosity and unity as leaders. For all the virtuosity on display across Gingerbread Men, what impresses most is the selfless coherence of the session as a whole".
