Wish Clark Terry a Happy Birthday

[duaneiac]

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/

Happy Birthday , what an incredible career. I was lucky enough to see him live just once with the great Don Friedman on piano.

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).
