Combining these with the gifts of a great dramatist, Mr. Terry is a master storyteller whose spellbinding musical tales leave audiences thrilled and always wanting more! Clark has performed with Charlie Barnet, Charlie Ventura, Eddie Vinson and was the featured soloist with the Duke Ellington orchestra for eight years.
