June Clark (musician)

Algeria Junius "June" Clark (March 24, 1900 in Long Branch, New Jersey – February 23, 1963 in New York City) was an American jazz trumpeter and cornetist, and boxing manager.

In 1920 Clark relocated to Philadelphia, where he played with Josephine Stevens and Willie "The Lion" Smith (1921–22).

He then played in the traveling show Holiday in Dixie, but this enterprise collapsed in Detroit after a poor run, and Clark temporarily took up work in an automobile factory.

He played with Ferman Tapp, Jimmy Reynolds (1933–1935), George Baquet, Charlie Skeete, and Vance Dixon in the 1930s, but failing health led him to quit music to act as Louis Armstrong's tour manager.

After his recovery he worked as a musical advisor and assisted Earl Hines.
