Iconic Trumpeter And Trailblazer Clark Terry’s New Autobiography Remarkably Told In His Own Words

Trumpeter and trailblazer Clark Terry has written his autobiography in his own idiosyncratic language, chock-full of period slang of the jazz musicians of his generation. Terry played with Count Basie’s and Duke Ellington’s bands among many others and in 1960 broke the color line at NBC as a member of the Tonight Show’s band under Jack Paar and Johnny Carson.
