Both outsiders coming to New Orleans such as Ornette Coleman and Cannonball Adderley and locally born musicians such as Alvin Battiste, Ellis Marsalis, and James Black have contributed to this music. These musicians have influenced later players like Steve Masakowski, Shannon Powell, and Johnny Vidacovich up to more current musicians like Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, and Christian Scott. There are multiple reasons why New Orleans modern jazz has not had a greater profile. Some of these reasons relate to the economic considerations of modern jazz. It is difficult for anyone involved in modern jazz, whether musicians, record

Biography -- Printable Version
Biography -- Printable Version Peter Wolf's Historical Biography Written & Researched by Bryan Wiser, and Sheila Warren with Mimi Fox. Born in New York City, Peter grew up in the Bronx during the mid-1950's in a small, three-room apartment where he lived with his parents, older sister, two cats, dog and parakeet. For some time, Peter lived with his grandmother, an actress in New York City's Yiddish Theater. She and Peter had a strong bond, and she affectionately named him "Little Wolf" for his energetic and rambunctious ways. His father was a musician, vaudevillian and singer of light opera. Like Peter did years later, his father left home at age fourteen to join the Schubert Theater Touring Company with which he traveled the country performing light operas such as The Student Prince and Merry Widow. He had his own radio show called The Boy Baritone, which featured new songs from Tin Pan Alley, and was a member of the Robert Shaw Chorale. As a result of such artistic pursuits, Peter's father underwent long periods of unemployment that created a struggle to make financial ends meet. Peter's mother was an elegant and attractive woman who taught inner-city children in the South Bronx for 27 years. A political activist, union organizer and staunch civil rights advocate, she supported racial equality by attending many of the southern "freedom rides" and marches. Peter's older sister was also a teacher as well as a photographer who now works as an advocate for persons with disabilities. She continues her mother's tradition, often marching on Washington to support the rights of the disabled.

The first gathering is Sunday March 5, 2017 with The Bill Miller Band. Most of you were there in November and gave us very positive feedback. The management of The Rabbit Hole approached us and opened their doors to whatever we needed to make the transition of moving from The Double Door Inn, as smooth as possible. And they are giving more than we asked for. The Charlotte Blues Society will continue to meet on the First Sunday of every month. Drink specials include a $5 Vodka drink, a $5 Whiskey, $3 Blue Moon and $3 PBR Tall, every Blues Sunday. Parking is Free and across the street at Sammy's Deli. This parking lot is regularly patrolled by bike cops, foot cops and plain clothes. An incredibly safe place. The Rabbit Hole will hang a permanent Charlotte Blues Society banner in the entry. They are booking National Blues acts and working with our Blues Friends at Intrepid Artists to bring the same quality entertainment that we got used to for over 43 years. Guitar great, Coco Montoya is booked for April 14. We'll have a Coco Montoya package to raffle on March 5, including tickets to the show and a CD pack. March 2017 e-BluesLetter My favorite benefit on the First Sunday of every month is the 10% discount on your meal, right next door at The Peculiar Rabbit.
