1967 - CLARK TERRY, live, "STARDUST" (Farewell to jazz great Clark Terry)
Wikipedia has reported the passing of jazz great Clark Terry:
On February 13, 2015, it was announced that Terry had entered hospice care to manage his advanced diabetes.[8] On February 21, 2015, Clark Terry died surrounded by his family, students and friends. [9]
His wife Gwen wrote: "Our beloved Clark Terry has joined the big band in heaven where he'll be singing and playing with the angels. He left us peacefully, surrounded by his family, students and friends ... Clark will live in our hearts forever."[10]
Writing in The New York Times, Peter Keepnews said Terry "was acclaimed for his impeccable musicianship, loved for his playful spirit and respected for his adaptability. Although his sound on both trumpet and the rounder-toned flugelhorn (which he helped popularize as a jazz instrument) was highly personal and easily identifiable, he managed to fit it snugly into a wide range of musical contexts."[11]
Writing in UK's The Daily Telegraph, Martin Chilton said, "Terry was a music educator and had a deep and lasting influence on the course of jazz. Terry became a mentor to generations of jazz players, including Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis and composer-arranger Quincy Jones."[12]
Interviewing Terry in 2005, Scotty Barnhart said he was "..one of the most incredibly versatile musician to ever live... a jazz trumpet master that played with the greatest names in the history of the music..."[13]
From a BBC "Jazz at the Philharmonic" in 1967, here's Clark Terry with "Stardust".
