Triad Arts with David Ford Bassist Matt Kendrick & Open Mic Night at Tate\'s Bar (encore)May 21, 2012Over the last century, North Carolina produced some of the most influential artists in American jazz. Max Roach, Thelonious Monk, Percy Heath, and John Coltrane were all born in the state; Dizzy Gillespie grew up just beyond the state line in South Carolina, but he attended school and studied music in Laurinburg, North Carolina.
For decades the Piedmont Triad enjoyed a thriving jazz scene well into the 90s when it wasn’t that hard to find a jazz club or an open mic jam session in progress on any given night. Those heydays may have come and gone, but my guest today, one of the region’s finest jazz musicians, Composer/Double Bassist Matt Kendrick, is doing his darndest to bring ‘em back.
You can hear Matt swinging on Tuesday nights from 8-11pm with drummer John Wilson and keyboardist Ken Rhodes at Tate’s Bar on 4th Street in downtown Winston-Salem. It’s open mic night every Tuesday night at Tates.
