diversions ddv24150 Smile - a CD to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support

SMILE
CAROL JARVIS

A very special CD for (and by) a very special musician. Trombonist Carol Jarvis is a fine and much in demand performer. Diagnosed in 2004 with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the age of only 26, Carol has fought through the disease with pioneering treatment and has maintained her position as one of the UK's leading instrumentalists. In her own words; “a cancer diagnosis doesn't have to be a death sentence. It can be a very dark and lonely place, but it also opens your eyes to the world. If anything, my life is so much better since that diagnosis as I don't take anything for granted anymore and treasure even the smallest things.” We are honoured to be able to present this wonderful album for the benefit of Macmillan Cancer Support; thanks are due to everyone who has contributed in any way. Carol is accompanied by a hand-picked orchestra conducted by Roderick Dunk. See photos below from the official launch party at the Forge in Camden (thanks to Aimee Aldersley of Macmillan for the pics)
