2011 Convention - Manchester, England

Saturday night live jazz with Digby Fairweather & His Half Dozen

Report by Horace Meunier Harris

The 48th IAJRC Convention was held at Manchester, England, for the first time since London in 1994.  It was a masterpiece of Anglo-American co-operation.  The warmest praise from all those present goes to those responsible  -  Ian Tiele, Perry Huntoon and Lee Goode and their helpers on the American side, and Arnie Chadwick, Peter Caswell and the members of the Manchester Jazz Society in Britain.  A number of members from the United States and Canada made the effort to attend, plus several from Germany, Austria and Denmark.  On arrival, well loaded "goody bags" were presented to all.
