Your mind is a powerful asset. Use it for positive thoughts and you’ll learn what I’ve learned. Call it getting on the plateau of positivity. — Clark Terry, jazz trumpeter
Compelling from cover to cover, this is the story of one of the most recorded and beloved jazz trumpeters.
With unsparing honesty and a superb eye for detail, Clark Terry takes us from his impoverished childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, to the smoke-filled small clubs across the Jim Crow South and on to worldwide acclaim.
Terry introduces scores of legendary greats — Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Doc Severinsen, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, and Dianne Reeves.
