duaneiac Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just a reminder that the birthday of Clark Terry is Dec. 14th. He will be 94. In addition to being a major figure in the history of jazz, he is also just a wonderful human being and an inspirational individual. I'm sure he would be delighted to hear from his many fans on his birthday. And if you should feel like making a contribution to help fund his ongoing healthcare, I'm sure he and his wife Gwen would be most appreciative. You can find the address to send birthday wishes or a contribution on Clark Terry's website: http://clarkterry.com/#/donate/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Here's wishing Clark Terry the best on his 94th birthday! I'm off to listen to a session he did under Louie Bellson's name for Capitol with Juan Tizol, John Graas, Wardell Gray, Willie Smith, Harry Carney, Billy Strayhorn and Wendell Marshall (w/Shorty Rogers and Buddy Baker doing some of the arrangements).
