Hello,

I was just talking about Ian Carr with a friend. Why is there a benefit. And for those of us outside of the London area, is there a place to send donations?

Thank you,

Marla

Hi

Ian has not been in the best of health for some while now and is looking a little frail. He is now not able to play the trumpet and I believe (perforce) has given up practising. This is extremely sad as he was one of

the greatest trumpet players the UK produced and he led two of its most important jazz groups. There isn't currently anywhere you can send money tobut attendance at the benefit gig would be appreciated particularly as I have just learned that both Kenny Wheeler and Stan Sulzman will be playing in the final set!
