[Dixielandjazz] Ian Christie, R.I.P.

[Bob Smith]

I was deeply sorry to hear of the death of Ian Christie. I first heard him 
with Humphrey Lyttelton at the Town Hall in Birmingham, England in the 
1950's. As well as solos, he and Wally Fawkes played some fine clarinet 
duets.
Through the good offices of listmate Hugh Crozier I was able to do a 
telephone interview with Ian on 2006-12-14 which was senr on my local radio 
jazz programme 2006-12-29. In this interview he expressed a wish to play in 
Norway. Unfortunately this was never to be.
I have an MP3 of this interview (length 15:13 minutes) if any of you would 
like a copy.
