Boyd Raeburn
Boyd Albert Raeburn (October 27, 1913 – August 2, 1966) was an American jazz bandleader and bass saxophonist.
His big band, which was active ca. 1944-1947, performed arrangements that were often quite avant-garde, like the arrangements of Stan Kenton during the same period. The compositions arranged by George Handy were the most contemporary, utilizing dissonance somewhat in the manner of Igor Stravinsky. He attended the University of Chicago, where he led a campus band but eventually left the music industry to pursue business interests in New York and the Bahamas.
Time running out for Leduc toddler? By Al Stafford
Alex Johnston is getting desperate.
The young mother of two-year-old Reign can t figure out what is causing the delay in getting her son a much-needed, and very expensive drug to treat his Spinal Muscular Atrophy. As soon as we found out his diagnosis, a couple days later we found out about Zolgensma and we started advocating for it and fund-raising, said Alex.
The fund-raising began at the beginning of 2020. They needed to raise 2.8 million dollars. The young family also moved from Leduc to Edmonton to keep Reign closer to his doctors at the Stollery Children s Hospital.
