The music fraternity is in mourning following the death of former member of internationally acclaimed Third World band, Irvin \u201cCarrot\u201d Jarrett on Tuesday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Jarrett\u2019s widow Alisia, confirmed reports that he was found dead at home in the morning.<\/p>\n

Entertainment Minister Olivia Grange expressed sadness at the sudden passing of the musician who was also a well known Naturopathic Health Practitioner.<\/p>

\u201cA cloud of sorrow has settled over the music fraternity and those in health care, in particular, with the sudden passing today of Irvin \u2018Carrot\u2019 Jarrett,\u201d Grange said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Entertainment Minister said shortly after she was informed of Jarrett\u2019s death, she spoke with his wife who said she wanted everyone to know he \u201cwas at peace\u201d.<\/p>\n

She added that Jarrett, who was regarded as one of the world\u2019s foremost percussionists and performers, and who had charted courses in Integrative Health Healing and Wellness for the past two decades, would leave a void difficult to fill.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThis is so because wrapped in \u2018Carrot\u2019 was a percussionist, singer, drummer, dancer, performer, concert producer, inventor, songwriter, painter and teacher.<\/p>\n

Grange recalled that he was one of the original members of Third World, assisting the band to establish itself and staying with it for 16 years until his departure in 1989.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Jarrett played hits such as 96 Degrees\u00a0in the Shade, Always Around, and Now That We Found Love.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cCarrot\u2019s talent no doubt contributed to\u00a0Third World becoming what has been described\u00a0as more than just one of the top reggae bands of all time but an institution that held firm to the cultural and ancestral roots of its members while pushing forward the cutting edge of music worldwide. An institution whose themes are positive, progressive and internationally relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grange\u00a0<\/span>recalled that \u201cCarrot\u201d once said \u201cI would like to be known as a positive potent power to those whose lives I\u2019ve touched, while leaving a worthwhile legacy that will triumph over the rigours of space and time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jarrett was 69.<\/p>\n
