The Music Thread

ok I was talking jazz with some folks today and I posed my ideal North Carolina jazz band:

John Coltrane (sax) born in hamlet NC grew up in High Point, NC
Thelonious Monk (piano) Rocky Mount NC
Woody Shaw (trumpet ) Laurinburg NC
Percy Heath ( bass ) Wilmington NC
Max Roach ( drums ) Newland NC
Nina Simone ( singer ) Tryon NC

Can another state match that group ?

some Nina...

Not really a jazz great, not even a musician, and sort of music adjacent, but Rocky Mount's Kay Kyser could have been the director for that group.

Kay Kyser was born in Rocky Mount and died in Chapel Hill. He was a great big band leader, but I'm not sure he could handle a group of post-bop youngsters ;)
 
ok...so I have just pulled out a load of laundry from the dryer and folded them for the missus. Everything was black and grey with the exception of one navy blue top.

Now hang in with me ... as I was folding her laundry, I started singing a favorite song of mine from so many years ago. These guys do it better than me:D

 
Saw Vince Gill at DPAC last night. Great show! He did 35 songs, played for over 3 hours, and still sounds great. Had an excellent band of musicians with him, as well.

Supposedly the Beach Boys were an influence on the Beatles and Pet Sounds may have inspired their Sgt. Peppers album.

Pet Sounds influenced the production on Sgt Pepper as did Pet Sounds' bass tone and how Brian uses the bass as a more melodic mix forward instrument.
