GUEST, Hamish, no cookie A new definition of Folk? (34) RE: A new definition of Folk? 23 Feb 04


Ah, Q - I made that mistake recently, too. I'd been listening to a retrospective on the other Ian Carr on Radio 3. (The one who is a prominent jazz band leader, trumpeter, moulder of early UK fusion (jazz/rock). Blody good, too. And certainly he ain't no horse, but 'twould be stretching most people's definition of folk a bit too far.) When someone mentioned him in a folk club. "I've just been listening... etc". I never did own up about the the mistaken identity. (Unitl now - and you won't tell, will you?)

Ian Carr - the folkie - doesn't have any solo albums out as far as I know. But lots of collaborations. His two with Karen Tweed are wonderful; and also with Swap, too.
