Clark Terry's career in jazz spans more than sixty years. He is a world-class trumpeter, flugelhornist, educator, and NEA Jazz Master. He performed for seven U.S. Presidents, and was a Jazz Ambassador for State Department tours in the Middle East and Africa. More than fifty jazz festivals in all seven continents still feature him. He received a Grammy Award, two Grammy certificates, three Grammy nominations, thirteen honorary doctorates, keys to cities, lifetime achievements and halls of fame awards. He was knighted in Germany and is the recipient of the French Order of Arts and Letters. Clark's star on the Walk of Fame, and his Black World History Museum's life-sized wax figure can both be visited in his hometown, St. Louis, Missouri.
Clark composed more than two hundred jazz songs, and his books include Let's Talk Trumpet: From Legit to Jazz, Interpretation of the Jazz Language and Clark Terry's System of Circular Breathing for Woodwind and Brass Instruments.
He recorded with The London Symphony Orchestra, The Dutch Metropole Orchestra, The Duke Ellington Orchestra and The Chicago Jazz Orchestra, at least thirty high school and college ensembles, his own duos, trios, quartets, quintets, sextets, octets, and two big bands — Clark Terry's Big Bad Band and Clark Terry's Young Titans of Jazz. His career as both leader and sideman with more than three hundred recordings demonstrates that he is one of the luminaries in jazz.
Clark's discography reads like a "Who's Who In Jazz," with personnel that includes great jazz artists such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Ben Webster, Charlie Barnet, Doc Severinsen, Ray Charles, Billy Strayhorn, Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, Milt Jackson, Bob Brookmeyer, Jon Faddis, and Dianne Reeves.
"Clark Terry," writes Chuck Berg, "is one of contemporary music's great innovators, and justly celebrated for his great technical virtuosity, swinging lyricism, and impeccable good taste. Combining these with the gifts of a great dramatist, Clark is a master storyteller whose spellbinding musical 'tales' leave audiences thrilled and always awaiting more."
In the 1940s, after serving in the Navy, Clark's musical star rose rapidly with successful stints in the bands of George Hudson, Charlie Barnet, Charlie Ventura, Eddie Vinson, and then in 1948 — the great Count Basie. In addition to his outstanding musical contribution to these bands, Mr. Terry exerted a positive influence on musicians such as Miles Davis and Quincy Jones, both of whom credit Clark as a formidable influence during the early stages of their careers. In 1951 Clark was asked to join Maestro Duke Ellington's renowned orchestra where he stayed for eight years as a featured soloist.
Following a tour with Harold Arlen's "Free and Easy" show directed by Quincy Jones in 1960, Clark's international recognition soared when he accepted an offer from the National Broadcasting Company to become its first African American staff musician. Soon after, Clark became a ten year television star as one of the spotlighted players in the Tonight Show band where he scored a smash hit as a singer with his irrepressible "Mumbles." From the 70's through the 90's, Clark performed at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, and Lincoln Center, toured with the Newport Jazz All Stars and Jazz at the Philharmonic, and he was featured with Skitch Henderson's New York Pops Orchestra. Since 2000, he hosts Clark Terry Jazz Festivals on land and sea, and his own jazz camps.
Prompted early in his career by Dr. Billy Taylor, Clark and Milt Hinton bought instruments for and gave instruction to young hopefuls which planted the seed that became Jazz Mobile in Harlem. This venture tugged at Clark's greatest love - involving youth in the perpetuation of Jazz. Between global performances, Clark continues to share wholeheartedly his jazz expertise and encourage students.

Clark compuso más de doscientas canciones de jazz, y entre sus libros figuran Let's Talk Trumpet: From Legit to Jazz, Interpretation of the Jazz Language y Clark Terry's System of Circular Breathing for Woodwind and Brass Instruments.
Grabó con la London Symphony Orchestra, la Dutch Metropole Orchestra, la Duke Ellington Orchestra y la Chicago Jazz Orchestra, con al menos treinta conjuntos de instituto y universidad, con sus propios dúos, tríos, cuartetos, quintetos, sextetos, octetos y con dos grandes bandas: Clark Terry's Big Bad Band y Clark Terry's Young Titans of Jazz. Su carrera como líder y acompañante, con más de trescientas grabaciones, demuestra que es una de las luminarias del jazz.
La discografía de Clark parece un "Quién es quién en el jazz", con personal que incluye a grandes artistas del jazz como Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Ben Webster, Charlie Barnet, Doc Severinsen, Ray Charles, Billy Strayhorn, Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, Milt Jackson, Bob Brookmeyer, Jon Faddis y Dianne Reeves.
"Clark Terry", escribe Chuck Berg, "es uno de los grandes innovadores de la música contemporánea, y justamente celebrado por su gran virtuosismo técnico, su lirismo oscilante y su impecable buen gusto. Combinando todo ello con las dotes de un gran dramaturgo, Clark es un narrador magistral cuyos fascinantes 'cuentos' musicales dejan al público encantado y siempre esperando más".
En la década de 1940, después de servir en la Marina, la estrella musical de Clark ascendió rápidamente con exitosas colaboraciones en las bandas de George Hudson, Charlie Barnet, Charlie Ventura, Eddie Vinson y, en 1948, el gran Count Basie. Además de su destacada contribución musical a estas bandas, el Sr. Terry ejerció una influencia positiva en músicos como Miles Davis y Quincy Jones, quienes atribuyen a Clark una influencia formidable durante las primeras etapas de sus carreras. En 1951, Clark fue invitado a formar parte de la renombrada orquesta del maestro Duke Ellington, donde permaneció ocho años como solista principal.
Tras una gira con el espectáculo "Free and Easy" de Harold Arlen dirigida por Quincy Jones en 1960, el reconocimiento internacional de Clark se disparó cuando aceptó una oferta de la National Broadcasting Company para convertirse en su primer músico afroamericano de plantilla. Poco después, Clark se convirtió en una estrella televisiva durante diez años como uno de los músicos destacados de la banda del Tonight Show, donde consiguió un gran éxito como cantante con su incontenible "Mumbles". Desde los años 70 hasta los 90, Clark actuó en el Carnegie Hall, el Town Hall y el Lincoln Center, realizó giras con las Newport Jazz All Stars y Jazz at the Philharmonic, y formó parte de la New York Pops Orchestra de Skitch Henderson. Desde el año 2000, organiza festivales de jazz Clark Terry en tierra y mar, así como sus propios campamentos de jazz.
Al principio de su carrera, Clark y Milt Hinton compraron instrumentos y dieron clases a jóvenes promesas gracias a la ayuda del Dr. Billy Taylor, que plantó la semilla que se convirtió en el Jazz Mobile de Harlem. Esta aventura fue el mayor amor de Clark: implicar a los jóvenes en la perpetuación del jazz. Entre actuación y actuación en todo el mundo, Clark sigue compartiendo de todo corazón sus conocimientos de jazz y animando a los estudiantes.
