New Orleans jazz to fill Hart House to thank U of T for Katrina aid

This Friday, from noon to 2 p.m., the Tim Laughlin Jazz Quartet will play a U.S. State Department-sponsored concert at Hart House to thank the University of Toronto for its hurricane relief efforts.

The members of the quartet were out of the country-on their way to Paraguay, in fact-when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. After their trip, the quartet wasn’t able to return home.

But that didn’t slow them down. Toronto isn’t their only stop-earlier this month the quartet did a similar thank-you tour of Mexico.

At the U of T concert professor David Ferrar, Vice Provost Students, and Nicholas Giacobbe, will speak.
