From the 1970s through the 1990s, Terry performed at [[Carnegie Hall]], Town Hall, and [[Lincoln Center]], toured with the Newport Jazz All Stars and Jazz at the Philharmonic, and was featured with [[Skitch Henderson]]'s New York Pops Orchestra. In 1998, Terry recorded [[George Gershwin]]'s "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" for the [[Red Hot Organization]]'s compilation album ''[[Red Hot + Rhapsody]]'', a tribute to [[George Gershwin]], which raised money for various charities devoted to increasing AIDS awareness and fighting the disease.<ref>{{Citation|title=Red Hot + Rhapsody: The Gershwin Groove - Various Artists {{!}} Songs, Reviews, Credits {{!}} AllMusic|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/red-hot-rhapsody-the-gershwin-groove-mw0000044192|language=en|access-date=2021-10-15}}</ref>

In November 1980, he was a headliner along with [[Anita O'Day]], [[Lionel Hampton]] and [[Ramsey Lewis]] during the opening two-week ceremony performances celebrating the short-lived resurgence of the Blue Note Lounge at the Marriott O'Hare Hotel near Chicago.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hentoff |first=Nat |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/j.ctt1ppqm7 |title=At the Jazz Band Ball: Sixty Years on the Jazz Scene |date=2010 |publisher=University of California Press |isbn=978-0-520-26113-6 |edition=1 |jstor=10.1525/j.ctt1ppqm7 }}</ref>

Prompted early in his career by [[Billy Taylor]], Clark and [[Milt Hinton]] bought instruments for and gave instruction to young hopefuls, which planted the seed that became Jazz Mobile in Harlem. This venture tugged at Terry's greatest love: involving youth in the perpetuation of jazz. From 2000 onwards, he hosted Clark Terry Jazz Festivals on land and sea, held his own jazz camps, and appeared in more than fifty jazz festivals on six continents. Terry composed more than two hundred jazz songs and performed for eight [[U.S. Presidents]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.visionaryproject.org/terryclark/ |title=Clark Terry: NVLP: African American History |website=Visionaryproject.org |access-date=February 23, 2015}}</ref>

He also had several recordings with major groups including the [[London Symphony Orchestra]], the Dutch Metropole Orchestra, and the Chicago Jazz Orchestra, hundreds of high school and college ensembles, his own duos, trios, quartets, quintets, sextets, octets, and two big bands: Clark Terry's Big Bad Band and Clark Terry's Young Titans of Jazz.

In February 2004, Terry guest starred as himself, on ''[[Little Bill]]'', a children's television series. Terry was a resident of [[Bayside, Queens]], and [[Corona, Queens]], New York, later moving to [[Haworth, New Jersey]], and then [[Pine Bluff, Arkansas]].<ref>Berman, Eleanor, [http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06001/629777.stm "The jazz of Queens encompasses music royalty"] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20060720175139/http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06001/629777.stm |date=July 20, 2006 }}, ''[[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]]'', January 1, 2006.

His autobiography was published in 2011.<ref name="Clark: The Autobiography of Clark Terry" /> [[Taylor Ho Bynum]] wrote in ''[[The New Yorker]]'' that it "captures his gift for storytelling and his wry humor, especially in chronicling his early years on the road, with struggles through segregation and gigs in juke joints and carnivals, all while developing one of most distinctive improvisational voices in music history."<ref>[[Taylor Ho Bynum]], [http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/sound-musical-joy-clark-terrys-trumpet "The Sound of Musical Joy: Clark Terry's Trumpet"], ''The New Yorker'', February 24, 2015.</ref>
