Jazz legend Clark Terry performs at a school in this film outtake from Quincy Jones: In the Pocket (2001).

The career of celebrated jazz trumpeter Clark Terry (1920 -2015 ) spanned more than seven decades and included performing with Count Basie and Duke Ellington in the late 1940s and 1950s, and with Quincy Jones.

Bruce Sinofsky (1956 - 2015) wrote, directed and produced the two-hour American Masters documentary Good Rockin’ Tonight: The Legacy Of Sun Records (2001). In this interview he shares his reason for making the film.

The first documentary about the Tony- and Pulitzer-winning playwright August Wilson premiered in February 2015 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Wilson’s birth, the 10th anniversary of his death and Black History Month.

Constanza Romero was the costume designer for many August Wilson plays, and also the playwright's widow. She shares how design came about for several plays.

Playwright August Wilson describes how his creative process begins with dialogue that guides his development of characters and plot.

"He stands head and shoulders with Edward Albee, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller," says Pollard of the playwright. "People know their works and I want them to know the works of August Wilson."
