That's a hard one to swallow. One of my favorite Terry performances is Duke Ellington's album "...And His Mother Called Him Bill."

I always seemed like everybody who ever met Clark Terry just loved him.

An excellent documentary film about him is "Keep On Keeping On". It mostly depicts his socializing with colleagues and mentoring a favorite current student during 1999-2013, when he already was too ill to perform, interspersed with brief film clips from his prime.

The film nicely displays his warm personality and joyfulness.
