[Tamas Ittzes]

Hi everyone,

Many of you might know John Arpin, one of the greatest ragtime and early
jazz pianist. He passed away on November 8 at home, surrounded by his
family. He's suffered from cancer for 3 years and kept playing the piano
until this summer. He played astonishingly at our Bohém Ragtime & Jazz
Festival in March, Kecskemét, Hungary. Funeral will be in Toronto,
Canada on Saturday, November 17. Details at
