Cyril Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) He is in KU Medical Center with a serious heart condition since Monday. He is said to be in good spirits. Trumpeter Clark Terry, who missed a concert Sunday with the Kansas City Youth Jazz Band, was in serious condition Monday in KU Medical Center’s cardiac intensive care unit. Terry, 87, entered the hospital Friday evening. On Monday, a few of his Kansas City friends were at his bedside. Terry was smiling and joking. “His spirits were up,” said Kansas City jazz singer Angela Hagenbach More: http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/mu...ory/606981.html Edited May 9, 2008 by Cyril Quote
paul secor Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Best wishes for recovery for Mr. Terry. Quote
LarryCurleyMoe Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Get well soon Clark! Heard him play a little out here a couple years back...still had the chops & the vibe! Quote
Robert J Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Lois posted a message on his site We just wanted to update you on Clark's condition. As many of you know, on May 2, Clark was hospitalized with 96 percent heart blockage. Well, thankfully, the doctors got to him on time (you know Clark's timing is perfect anyway), and the blockage has been removed, and now Clark is teaching circular breathing to the doctors and nurses! I had a chance to talk to him on Monday, and he sounded wonderful. Your well wishes and prayers are extremely important to him. It might be a little difficult for him to get to email for awhile (and we'll be adding a blog to his site shortly), but in the meantime, please feel free to post your "healing thoughts" at Get Well Wishes For Clark Terry. Thank you for all your positive energy and thoughts for one of our greatest treasures. Keep on keepin' on, Clark Quote
JSngry Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 This is a guy who was literally on his deathbed, what, 6-7 years ago & pulled through. The miracles can't go on forever, but for now, it looks as if they have. Congrats CT, and I know that Clem will be in touch soon. Quote
Shawn Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Get well Clark! This guy is a living national treasure. Quote
Clunky Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Get well Clark! This guy is a living national treasure. International treasure..., you can't keep mr. mubbles all to yourselves. Get well, just happened to be spinning his Candid LP last night , great album.. Quote

sidewinder Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Saw this thread and feared bad news but sounds like great progress is being made. CT is a true survivor - best wishes for speedy recovery for him. It's amazing what can be done with hearts surgically these days. Quote

BeBop Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Was just heading to bed when I heard three or four Clark Terry-featured songs in a row on the radio. ...you know what I'm thinking, of course... So I had to log on, just to make sure. I've crossed paths with Clark Terry many, many times over the years. He's a prince. A gem. And now, to sleep. Quote
ValerieB Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 i, for one, would love to see the thread title changed to something like, "Clark Terry Recovering From Heart Problem"! every time i see the current title, i get a little jolt thinking it might be a new thread! Quote
Christiern Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 I agree, Valerie, we need an updated, positive thread title. Quote
CJ Shearn Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 get well Mumbles! One of my fav. things with Clark Terry is the scat duel he has with Bags on "Montreux '77" Quote
catesta Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 I'm glad there are signs of improvement. Keep it up, CT! Quote
Free For All Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I heard that Clark is recovering from surgery to amputate a leg. Not good news by any means, but he's still with us. He's not done just yet! Sending positive thoughts & prayers his way. Quote
Free For All Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I don't know, I was wondering the same. Quote
