Some Highlights From 1999:
July 12 - 30 • Ian was invited by the Queensland Biennial Festival to travel to Australia to participate in the "Jazz Train". This tour involved Ian and 5 other outstanding jazz ‘mentors’, as they were called, to join 2 student bands on a train which travelled from Townsville south to Brisbane, stopping at 3 additional cities on the way. At each city they would work during the day with all the local schools who had jazz bands, and every evening there would be a concert involving local bands plus the the two ‘train’ bands, with the jazz mentors as the featured soloists. During the night, the train would travel on to the next destination. It was an extremely successful project for the Queensland Biennial Celebration, and the complicated details of managing the jazz train project were very efficiently handled by the Australian team.
