I've decided to share my view of the RI music scene, with a specific interest in Jazz and Blues. I'll share information on Rhode Island's tremendous local musicians, venues to hear great live music, jams, music projects and all the other interesting topics we all seem to gravitate towards in our conversations of the 'Live' music scene in Rhode Island.
I'm still working out ideas on content. I'm particularly interested in showcasing particular Jazz and Blues legends both nationally and locally. You may see some names of musicians that your parents listened to at home when you were growing up, and you'll certainly recognize some names of local musicians you see regularly here in RI.
Why you ask? There's a fabulous eclectic collection of talented musicians here in The Ocean State as well as a variety of venues bringing live music to the public. I know that URI, RIC and CCRI are all turning out some great young Jazz musicians. Unfortunately, the public isn't always aware of the caliber of local talent right here at home. Too bad. So let's get the word out!
If you have a jazz band, blues band, jam, music project or other topics related to jazz or blues and would like to get the word out, drop me a line. Let's share the treasure of L'il Rhody's hidden talent!
Today's assignment jazz and blues lovers: Find and listen to Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass' Georgia On My Mind...Enjoy
