Celebrating the Birthday of Bugler Clark Terry

[ironlips]

The late trumpet master began his career with a valveless G bugle in the Thomas Powell Drum Corps which later became the greatest among all the notable African-American corps, The Spirit of St. Louis.

In 2008, Clark was inducted into the Buglers Hall of Fame, recognizing his drum corps roots, his springboard to evolving into one of the finest jazz artists and educators who ever lived.

He was also a VERY nice person. I was Asst Band Director my first years teaching, and we hired a professional to do a master class and concert with our jazz ensembles. In 78 we brought in Clark. Unlike some of the people brought in, he was a very caring and nice guy. He even shared a “mumbles” number with a student. The kids loved him!
