I loved the movie ‘keep on keepin on.’ There’s a scene in the movie where he and Justin are listening to a record. Does anyone know what the record is? I’d love to find it because i liked the song they were listening to on the turntable. Thanks!

CeeDee — I’m pretty sure the DVD is out, so you could purchase it, rent it from Netflix, perhaps even find it at your local library. You’ll love it, I promise.

Well-written tribute to one of the “good ole good ones” as they say. When I put on Wkcr yesterday and heard a number of Clark Terry sides I feared the worst. Great player who crafted his own sound while encouraging younger players to find their own. First saw him in the Doc Severin band on Johnny Carson,becoming a lifelong fan in the process. His spirit and devotion to this music will be missed,but always treasured.
Incidentally Al,where can that documentary on Terry be seen?

I bought a couple of his Impulse dates just the other week. He was truly great.

If you want to hear a great ballad by CT try the November song on the Clark After Dark album on MPS.

don-lucky is right on – OP Trio + One is my favorite Clark Terry performance. “Brotherhood of Man” is just fantastic. And my kids love “Mumbles.” He always performed with such joy.

clark terry always seemed to not get his dues in terms of recognition, but man, the dude played on EVERYTHING. almost every even remotely ‘big’ band impulse date, and tons of other stuff. i see him everywhere.

yusef last christmas and now clark? we’re losing the most friendly figures in jazz now!
