With unsparing honesty and a superb eye for detail, Clark Terry, born in 1920, takes us from his impoverished childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, where jazz could be heard everywhere, to the smoke-filled small clubs and carnivals across the Jim Crow South where he got his start, and on to worldwide acclaim. Terry takes us behind the scenes of jazz history as he introduces scores of legendary greats—Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Doc Severinsen, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, and Dianne Reeves, among many others. Terry also reveals much about his own personal life, his experiences with racism, how he helped break the color barrier in 1960 when he joined the Tonight Show band on NBC, and why—at ninety years old—his students from around the world still call and visit him for lessons.

Download or read book The Other Shoe written by Serenity Sole and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I began writing years ago when faced with perplexing choices in life. Some of the information shared here has also been told through a documentary that was done by my ex-husband. At the time, I was included in his story for the benefit of their message on gender issues. However, my focus is more on what makes me, me . . . Its more related to why I felt the need to support some events in life and why I retreated from others. Acceptance is key here. I cannot change events that happened anymore than I could change the way my husband felt about himself. I cannot change the illness and death of my father anymore than I could change the fire that destroyed our business. I cannot change the memory of being chased out of a house by gunpoint. I have to accept that my life is being guided by lessons previously learned and experienced. It is being watched over by God, and it is completely in his hands. My acceptance is the joy that I find in nature and family. Its reflected in my work for those with special needs, both on and off a horse. It is in the delight I have when walking through the woods or catching turtles on a beach. My days are not perfect, but I accept that too, because life is always changing and you cant hang on to the past. Hopefully, I can let it go and look forward to the ever-changing events of life. Welcome to my world!

Download or read book Dick Waterman written by Tammy L. Turner and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in an affluent Jewish family in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Dick Waterman (b. 1935) was a shy, stuttering boy living a world away from the Mississippi Delta. Though he never heard blues music at home, he became one of the most influential figures in blues of the twentieth century. A close proximity to Greenwich Village in the 1960s fueled Waterman's growing interest in folk music and led to an unlikely trip that resulted in the rediscovery of Delta blues artist Son House in 1964. Waterman began efforts to revive House’s music career and soon became his manager. He subsequently founded Avalon Productions, the first management agency focused on representing black blues musicians. In addition to booking and managing, he worked tirelessly to protect his clients from exploitation, demanded competitive compensation, and fought for royalties due them. During his career, Waterman befriended and worked with numerous musicians, including such luminaries as B. B. King, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, and Eric Clapton. During the early years of his career, he documented the work of scores of musicians through his photography and gained fame as a blues photographer. This authorized biography is the crescendo of years of original research as well as extensive interviews conducted with Waterman and those who knew and worked with him.
