Clark Terry Fundraising Event #jazz

As many of you know from reading Clark Terry's blog, in recent months, Clark has undergone many health challenges including amputation of both of his legs. The Jazz Foundation of America provides 'round the clock healthcare help and support.

To help defray these costs, some of Clark's musical friends will join in a "Fundraising Concert for Clark" which will include a special Skype appearance by Clark and Gwen Terry.
