[78-L] Canadian Jazz Publisher, Producer, flag-waver and more..

[David Lennick]

If you bought jazz records in Toronto, you probably bought them from the Jazz 
and Blues Center. Or by mail from John..

 From Ted O'Reilly:

John Norris, founder of CODA, Canada's Jazz Magazine, and co-founder with Bill 
Smith of Sackville Records, died this evening, January 31...heart-related.  He 
had just passed his 76th birthday in early January.

His wife Sandy says there'll be no traditional service, but later a memorial 
service, and I'm sure there'll be Jazz!  Though not a musician, he lived a Jazz 
Life, dedicating his life and knowledge and resources to the music.
