FRENCH JAZZ MUSICIAN CLAUDE LUTER DIES
French jazz band leader CLAUDE LUTER died on Friday (06OCT06). He was 83.
Clarinet player Luter first made his name performing New Orleans-style jazz in Paris during World War II, and went on to accompany LOUIS ARMSTRONG and SIDNEY BECHET in the 1950s.
French culture minister RENAUD DONNEDIEU DE VABRES says, "For me as for so many, the name of Claude Luter will be forever associated with Saint Germain des Pres in the post-war years, with its innumerable jazz clubs.
"Now and forever he will be remembered as one of the remarkable men who symbolised this highly talented epoch."
