Apparently the goings-on in Selma had taken their toll on Clark too. At week's end he was taken to Vaughan Memorial Hospital, suffering, his doctors said, from chest pains and exhaustion.

The Festival is a real tour de force of the jazz world, and while it can never achieve the warm, intimate atmosphere of a small night club, it presents a survey of jazzmen and their styles unmatched anywhere...
