SANDRA and Martin Moss, proprietors of a Wakefield haulage company, Sanmar Containers Ltd, have turned their enthusiasm for jazz to charitable account to relieve starvation and suffering in the Third World. They have met the cost of producing a cassette of the music of Tony (Cozzy) Costello's Wakefield Arms Jazzmen, who have raised more than £2,000 by playing in charity concerts and by collections during their weekly sessions at the pub. The money — part of more than £30,000 collected to date — has gone to the St Peter and Paul's Suzy Fund.
The cassette entitled Trucking with Cozzy has been made at the request of long-distance lorry drivers. Musical reviewers are said to have described it as "the best since Louis Armstrong." As one who was buying the Master's records 50 years ago I doubt that statement, but the flight of fancy is perhaps forgivable in a good cause. The cas
sette costs £3.50 from the Wakefield Arms, Wakefield, West Yorks.
