Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

Compelling from cover to cover, this is the story of one of the most recorded and beloved jazz trumpeters of all time. With unsparing honesty and a superb eye for detail, Clark Terry, born in 1920, takes us from his impoverished childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, to the smoke-filled small clubs and carnivals across the Jim Crow South.
