Saxophonist David Carr, Jr.

Noted saxophonist David Carr Jr. will combine his birthday celebration with a fundraiser to benefit a national children’s charity.

Wine and Jazz Birthday Soiree is set for 7 to 10 p.m. Aug. 1 at Times Ten Cellars Winery (www.timestencellar.com)  in Dallas. In celebration of the musicians 49th birthday, the event will aid the Mark Klaas Foundation (KlaasKids.org)  to fight against human sex trafficking of children.
