I met Clark a few times--he replaced Louis Armstrong on that riverboat way way back, I think. That's history. Byron Stripling calls Clark the last living original, meaning first generation of greats. He and Freddie are my favs, and Clark still plays his butt off.
Actually, The Nick Russo I was thinking of passed away a few years back. He was lead trumpet with Sammy Spears Orchestra, from the Jackie Gleason Show, when it was taped in Miami, FL. Does that date me? He later formed his own group, that headlined in Disney World as well as other places.
