They’re Jazzed: The National Endowment for the Arts named jazz greats Daniel (Danny) Barker, William (Buck) Clayton, Andy Kirk and Clark Terry to its unofficial jazz hall of fame over the weekend. The four each won a $20,000 fellowship as the arts endowment’s 1991 American Jazz Masters. They were honored at a jazz concert in Washington, D.C., on Sunday night for contributions to jazz in the African-American tradition. Barker is a guitarist and banjo player from New Orleans. Clayton plays trumpet and was a big-band composer. Kirk is a saxophonist, and Terry is a trumpeter who was a member of Duke Ellington’s orchestra.
