Hello Sorry Staters! New week, new pick. We have seen some cold weather here the past few weeks, and it seems to be totally out of the norm from what we usually see in North Carolina. I hope everyone is staying warm and staying positive since the orange goblin got sworn in. One thing we can all do is help lift each other up and work through this disaster as best we know how. For me it’s music and reading!
I picked up Weird Music That Goes On Forever: A Punk’s Guide To Loving Jazz a few months ago when I started on my journey of digging into all things jazz music. It’s a good starting point for someone that isn’t well versed in different players and jazz labels. The book breaks down all the greats, from Charles Mingus to Coltrane and Lee Morgan. Each part is a mini biography for each artist and breaks down some albums from each artist to start with. So check this book out if you want to expand your knowledge of Jazz! There is also some great art work sprinkled in by Raleigh’s own Brian Walsby!
