Thanks to a post on Marc Myers' JazzWax blog, I just watched this trailer to a new documentary film about Clark Terry. Looks like a helluva good movie about a helluva good man! Ain't no jazz fan alive who can watch this and not get at least a little misty eyed.

Thank you, Duane. I don't have any other words right now other than... beautiful.

It's probably worth noting this Sept. 21, 2012 post from Clark Terry's wife on his website:

Clark is getting stronger since his surgery in July of this year, under the care of Dr. Jonathan Laryea at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS) hospital in Little Rock. There have been no new health challenges. Thank God!

Clark said, “When I left UAMS, I prayed for Big Prez (his nickname for God) to let me ride on some smooth waters, for a change. And it looks like things have cooled out. You know I’m thankful for that.” He went on to say, “Never did I imagine that a month or so later, He’d bless me with a Satchmo Award! That has put some new wind in my sails.”

He’s doing his daily exercises and his spirit remains high. Currently, he’s able to sit in his wheelchair for a few hours each day. He’s working hard to increase his time out of bed, getting closer to his goal of teaching via Skype. His students continue to fly in for lessons, either from his bedside or his wheelchair.

We appreciate your prayers, visits, cards, letters, website posts, calls and donations so much. Everyone here is working hard to provide Clark with the 24-hour care that he needs. His appetite is strong, and he’s determined to “keep on keepin’ on.” Please keep him in your prayers.

Blessings and love,
Gwen

And it's worth reminding folks they can contribute to Mr. Terry's health fund at:
Jazz Foundation of America, 322 W. 48th Street, New York, NY 10036

Checks should be written to Jazz Foundation of America with “Clark Terry account” in the memo line.

If Clark Terry doesn't inspire you, you are not capable of being inspired.

I always loved the way he says, "thank you very kindly, ladies and gentlemen".
