Hello Clark Terry,

Happy Birthday to you...

I've admired your amazing brass playing and jazz ability since 1961 or

so. I had the Bob Wilber "Evolution of the Blues" MMO and noticed

that you played the tonic of each chord on "one" as you went through

the pieces and never sounded contrived!

I had the "Festival Session" Ellington record and

marveled at your sound and phrasing on Perdido.

I was about 13 then. I could listen to you, close my eyes and see a

smallish black dog with floppy ears having fun. Go figure...
