Talk:Clark Terry

An extra tidbit
Don't know if this merits inclusion on the main page, but in recent years Clark Terry has also been very active in music education, in particular through an ongoing relationship with the University of New Hampshire. Terry received his first honorary doctorate (he has several) from UNH, where he is listed as an Adjunct Professor of Jazz studies and has given many workshops, master classes, and performances for students. Some informative links:

If the UNH affiliation is mentioned, Terry's positions at William Paterson University and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff should be included as well. He is an adjunct faculty member at both schools, and has donated his archives to Paterson. Unregistered User 03:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I think all of the above should be mentioned, adding in the sources for the latter two affiliations of course - it must be somewhere on the university websites. The article, as it is, calls him an "educator," but all it actually says about that role is that he "continues to share... his jazz expertise and encourage students" - which doesn't give much supporting info about what he actually DOES.

Biased
The article is generally well-written, but things like "This venture tugged at Clark's greatest love - involving youth in the perpetuation of Jazz" or "Clark's discography reads like a 'Who's Who In Jazz,'" need to go. Even if they're true, these things don't belong in an encyclopedia. The article in general reads like publicity for Clark Terry. 129.170.202.144 00:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Little Bill
What, no mention of Mr. Terry's appearance in the Little Bill episode "Never"? --204.246.229.228 (talk) 18:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * He is mentioned in the Little Bill (TV series) article, and I think his appraeance is more notable to that article than to his career at a whole. But I see no rason why it could not also be included here. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:29, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Most recorded trumpet player?
I thought Bernie Glow was the most recorded musician, let alone trumpet player of all time. Perhaps the distinction is made in the fact that most of his recordings were not made for musical enjoyment but rather for advertisements, radio, TV, and Movies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.172.45.100 (talk) 04:03, 21 August 2012 (UTC)


 * According to his own website Terry was "... one of the most recorded jazz artists in history and had performed for eight American Presidents.": Martinevans123 (talk) 19:50, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * One might have to think about how to phrase this, but at least "one of the" allows for enough wiggle-room. Maybe Zeke Zarchy is the most recorded jazz trumpeter, but it's just not quite the same thing. Ray Brown is sometimes named as the most recorded jazz artist, but I haven't found a comprehensive reliable, up-to-date list with clearly defined criteria anywhere, and, as indicated, there is also a difference between being featured on the highest number of recordings (even when most of them lack improvisation) and being the most recorded "artist". As long as it's referenced and remains "one of the", I'm ok with keeping it. ---Sluzzelin talk  20:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Jazz purists would, of course, count only original recording sessions, not issued records. Advertisements, and live radio TV, might have to be discounted, I suspect. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:52, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I think this is a bit minimal
I feel like we should mention that Clark Terry is one of the most influential jazz trumpeters of all time, and that he was considered to be one of the best soloists in all of the Duke Ellington bands. Just a thought. -WF

Those are opinions, also slightly misleading/incorrect (Louis Armstrong- Scat, style; Dizzy- Harmonic language of bebop, Latin jazz; Miles- Cool, Modal, Fusion, tons of things that I am forgetting) -CA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:18E8:2:28BC:F1D2:325:341:3977 (talk) 01:27, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Clark Terry Jazz Education
There is no mention of The Clark Terry International Institute of Jazz Studies. In place from 1993 thru 1997 at a university in Iowa. It was a 4 year degree program at Teikyo Westmar University in LeMars Iowa. It was an award winning program, and had many outstanding students. Clark was artistic director and was in residence for months throughout the life of the program. The university went bankrupt in 1997 and was closed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.129.52 (talk) 03:48, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

As a staff writer and later Editor of The Gleam, the student newspaper at Westmar, from 1989 to 1993, I can clarify some changes that were made: The name of the University changed to Westmar University during the tenure of the CTIIJ after our relationship with Teikyo University was severed. I interviewed Terry in 1993 and he did profess a great love of teaching Jazz. As to the number of students in the short-lived program, I have heard differing descriptions but will look into it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeeLikesFacts (talk • contribs) 04:04, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Clark Terry discography

 *  Support split - Discography section takes up more than one quarter of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled Clark Terry discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:34, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Support split - lengthy discography with numerous related articlews - deserves seperate entry DISEman (talk) 03:45, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support split - Agreed, split off as Clark Terry discography. It's almost twice as long as the Dizzy Gillespie discography! Terry's recorded output was amazing. --Alan W (talk) 04:42, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support split. A huge oeuvre. What a genius he was. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:24, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
