Clark Terry (December
14, 1920 – February 21, 2015) was an American swing and bop trumpeter, a
pioneer of the flugelhorn in jazz, educator, NEA Jazz Masters inductee,
and recipient of the 2010 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Only three
other trumpet players in history have ever received the Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award: Louis Armstrong (Clark's old mentor), Miles Davis
(whom Clark mentored), Dizzy Gillespie (who often described Clark as the
greatest jazz trumpet player on earth) and Benny Carter. Clark Terry
was one of the most prolific jazz musicians in history, having appeared
on 905 known recording sessions, which makes him the most recorded
trumpet player of all time. In comparison, Louis Armstrong performed on
620 sessions, Harry "Sweets" Edison on 563, and Dizzy Gillespie on 501.He has played with Charlie Barnet (1947), Count Basie (1948–1951), Duke Ellington (1951–1959) and Quincy Jones (1960), and has recorded regularly both as a leader and sideman. Terry's career in jazz spanned more than seventy years and he is among the most recorded of jazz musicians.
