With unsparing honesty and a superb eye for detail, Clark Terry, born in 1920, takes us from his impoverished childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, where jazz could be heard everywhere, to the smoke-filled small clubs and carnivals across the Jim Crow South where he got his start, and on to worldwide acclaim. Terry takes us behind the scenes of jazz history as he introduces scores of legendary greats—Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Doc Severinsen, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, and Dianne Reeves, among many others. Terry also reveals much about his own personal life, his experiences with racism, how he helped break the color barrier in 1960 when he joined the \u003ci\u003eTonight Show\u003c\/i\u003e band on NBC, and why—at ninety years old—his students from around the world still call and visit him for lessons.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eUniversity of California Press\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9\" H x 6\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9780520287518\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765989671044,"sku":null,"price":36.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/49ABD709-0708-4E99-B4C7-4539928245F3.jpg?v=1776360319","url":"https:\/\/librairieresonance.com\/products\/clark-the-autobiography-of-clark-terry","provider":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
