"With a trumpet in one hand and flugelhorn in the other, this serious artist and comedic vocalist blew his
way through the orchestras of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, and NBC-TV into international
stardom, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity, two honorary Ph.D.'s, the Kansas City Jazz Hall of Fame, the
front rank of the world's jazz educators and the chair of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Academic
Council. On December 14, 1990, Clark turned 70, and told a National Public Radio interviewer:
"I'm so grateful for being able to play and for the audiences that come to hear me that everytime I take
my horn out of the case I can't help but think to myself: this might be the last time I will ever have a
chance to play. So everytime I try to play to the best of my ability."
That's what makes CLARK TERRY: LIVE AT THE VILLAGE GATE so special.

Possessor of the happiest sound in jazz, flugelhornist Clark Terry always plays music that is exuberant,
swinging, and fun. A brilliant (and very distinctive) soloist, C.T. gained fame for his "Mumbles" vocals
(which started as a satire of the less intelligible ancient blues singers) and is also an enthusiastic educator.
He gained early experience playing trumpet in the viable St. Louis jazz scene of the early '40s (where he
was an inspiration for Miles Davis) and, after performing in a Navy band during World War II, he gained
a strong reputation playing with the big band of Charlie Barnet (1947-1948), the orchestra and small
groups of Count Basie (1948-1951), and particularly with Duke Ellington (1951-1959). Terry, a versatile
swing/bop soloist who started specializing on flugelhorn in the mid-'50s, had many features with Ellington
(including "Perdido") and started leading his own record dates during that era. He visited Europe with
Harold Arlen's unsuccessful The Free & Easy show of 1959-1960 as part of Quincy Jones' Orchestra, and
then joined the staff of NBC where he was a regular member of the Tonight Show Orchestra. He recorded
regularly in the 1960s including a classic set with the Oscar Peterson Trio and several dates with the quintet
he co-led with valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer. Throughout the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, C.T. remained a
major force, recording and performing in a wide variety of settings including at the head of his short-lived
big band in the mid-'70s, with all-star groups for Pablo, and as a guest artist who can be expected to
provide happiness in every note he plays.
