Ian Carr (b. 21 April 1933) is a Scotland jazz musician, composer, writer, and educator. Carr was born in Dumfries, Scotland, the younger brother of Mike Carr (jazz organist, Piano, and Vibraphone). From 1952 to 1956 he went to King's College, now the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where he read English literature, followed by a diploma in education. ==Musical career== At the age of seventeen Carr started to teach himself trumpet. After university he joined his brother in the Newcastle band EmCee Five from 1960 to 1962, before moving to London, where he became co-leader with Don Rendell of the Rendell–Carr quintet (1963–1969). In its six years, the group (including pianist Michael Garrick, bassist Dave Green (bassist), and drummer Trevor Tomkins) made five albums for EMI – all of which have been re-issued – and performed internationally. After leaving the quintet, Carr went on to form the ground-breaking jazz-rock band Nucleus (band). This led to the release of twelve albums (some under the band's name, some under Carr's), and a successful international career. In their first year they won first prize at the Montreux Jazz Festival, released their first albim (''Elastic Rock''), and performed at both the Newport Jazz Festival and the Village Gate jazz club. Carr has also played with the United Jazz Rock Ensemble since 1975. ==Writing & academic career== Apart from writing a regular column for the ''BBC Music Magazine'', Carr has written biographies of jazz musicians Keith Jarrett and Miles Davis. He is also the co-author of reference works such as ''The Rough Guide to Jazz''. In 1987 he was appointed associate professor at the Guildhall School of Music in Drama in London, where he teaches composition and performance, especially improvisation. ==Discography== ===Emcee Five=== *1961: ''Let's Take Five'' *1962: ''Bebop from the East Coast'' ===Rendell–Carr Quintet=== *1964: ''Shades of Blue'' *1965: ''Live in London'' *1966: ''Dusk Fire'' *1968: ''Live from the Antibes Jazz Festival'' (plus 1964 recordings by the Don Rendell Four and Five) *1968: ''Phase III'' *1969: ''Change Is'' *1969: ''"Live"'' ===With Don Rendell=== *2001: ''Reunion'' ===Nucleus=== *1970: ''Elastic Rock'' *1971: ''We'll Talk about It Later'' *1971: ''Solar Plexus'' *1972: ''Belladonna'' *1973: ''Labyrinth'' *1973: ''Roots'' *1974: ''Under the Sun'' *1975: ''Snakehips Etcetera'' *1975: ''Alleycat'' *1976: ''Direct Hits'' *1977: ''In Flagranti Delicto'' *1980: ''Awakening'' *1985: ''Live at the Theaterhaus'' *2003: ''Live in Bremen'' *2003: ''The Pretty Redhead'' ===Solo and various=== *1971: ''Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises'' (with Neil Ardley & Don Rendell) *1974: ''Will Power'' (with Neil Ardley, Mike Gibbs, & Stan Tracey) *1979: ''Out of the Long Dark'' *1980: ''Collana Jazz 80"'' (with the Algemona Quartetto) *1989: ''Old Heartland'' *1991: ''Virtual Realities'' (Zyklus, with Neil Ardley & John L.
