Jazz Classics With James Valentine

Clark Terry was a titan of the trumpet, but did you know he loved to sing as well? On this episode, we're taking a listen to music from the bop master. Terry worked with everyone from the Duke Ellington Orchestra to Coleman Hawkins, and he spent the later part of his life as a mentor to the next generation of jazz greats.

Much like his colleague Dizzy Gillespie, Terry would sometimes take the mike on gigs - and on the show, we'll be sampling the master in all his forms both with the trumpet and the flugelhorn as well as scatting along with the Oscar Peterson trio.

Presented by James Valentine
