00:18Carter the Trumpet Player
00:19Is without a doubt to me the top of the list
00:22He was my idol man
00:23Desi Gillespie walked up to me
00:25And he said I don't think you know who you're married to
00:28He said he is one of the greatest
00:30If not the greatest trumpet players ever
00:33You hear Clark
00:34You hear his life
00:35Now only a master can do that
00:37Clark is a master
00:41The first time I met C.T.
00:42Was when I was studying at William Patterson University
00:45We would meet
00:47And he would teach us these amazing standards
00:49I think he's one of the most talented pianists
00:53I've ever walked the face of the city
00:55When I lost my sight
00:57I kind of just gravitated towards the piano
00:59Clark was losing his sight
01:01And I think he was having a pretty tough time
01:03Adjusting to it
01:04How you hanging in there C.T.
01:05That really was a bond
01:07That began a beautiful deeper relationship
01:10That's the most important thing you can give as a young musician
01:12Somebody believes in you
01:15Makes you believe in yourself more
01:19This playing is like a window into the great things of the past
01:25I'm gonna be in the Thelonious Monk competition
01:27Yeah, my stomach has been in a knot
01:30I want to be a great jazz musician
01:32I have to figure out how to be me
01:34And if it means I gotta kinda struggle to make it happen
01:37Then that's what I'm gonna do
01:39Clark's surgery is tomorrow
01:41He wanted to see Justin before he goes to the hospital
01:46I just don't do well in competition
01:48I do not do well
01:50Ah, Jess
01:51Dear Justin
01:53I want you to know that I'm with you all the way
02:01I believe in your talent
02:03And I believe in you
02:05Thank you so much, C.T.
02:07Oh, thank you, man
02:08Thank God for you
02:14Thank you
