Ian Carr

The Death of a Star

No not the Death Star, but the legendary Ian Car.

I read this, now you can read it too if you wish ...

British trumpet player Ian Carr passed away on Wednesday 25th Feb 2009 at the age of 75. Early in his career, Carr played with the likes of Eric Burden, John McLaughlin and Alan Price. In the 70's, he formed the British jazz-rock band Nucleus which also included Chris Spedding and Jack Bruce.

As an author, he wrote Music Outside, about jazz in Britain during the 70's, and biographies of Miles Davis and Keith Jarrett.

Please enjoy a YouTube clip of the reformed band directly below:
