The North Carolina Jazz Continuum Project, featuring Larry Draughn on drums, Brandon Shamar on organ, and one other musician, comes to Succotash celebrating the remarkable musical lineage that has made North Carolina one of the most important birthplaces and proving grounds in the history of American Jazz.Draughn is a drummer, educator and bandleader who draws on the lineage of North Carolina greats including Monk, Coltrane, Nina Simone, Dr. Billy Taylor, Max Roach and others, bringing their legacy into the present in fresh and innovative ways. Expect an evening where bebop, blues, swing, gospel, latin rhythm, funk, vocal music, and open-ended improvisation meet--not as separate chapters, but as parts of an interconnected North Carolina musical story.
