Terry first gained fame in the 1940s with stints in the bands of Charlie Barnet, Charlie Ventura and Eddie Vinson. In 1948, he performed with Count Basie. Three years later, the trumpeter was asked to join Duke Ellington's orchestra, with which he peformed for eight years as a featured soloist. Terry was an international star when he joined the musical staff of NBC, becoming the first African-American musician on the NBC payroll. He became a television star as one of the spotlighted players in "The Tonight Show Band." When "The Tonight Show" moved to Los Angeles, the highly sought-after Terry chose to remain in New York to continue performing as a jazz artist and studio musician. An adviser to the International Association of Jazz Educators, Terry is the author of "Let's Talk Trumpet: From Legit to Jazz," "Interpretation of Jazz Language" and "Clark Terry's System of Circular Breathing for Woodwind and Brass Instruments."
