Phil Cartwright <pcartwri at kent.edu> asked:
> Is Karl Hird (clnt) related to James Hird (clnt)?  I played with Jim Hird in George Tidiman's New Era Jazz Band in London in 1975.

Dear Phil,
The quick answer is, “No.”
Karl James Hird was born in Melbourne, Australia on 29th November 1959 to trombonist Llew Hird and trumpet player Pamela Hird, and literally grew up in jazz.
Kind regards,
Bill.
