Don't you know enough about this guy already? Did you know he was born in Hamlet, NC? No? Well it is true. Very close to the now defunct (so sad) Rockingham Speedway, which is where they filmed parts of Six Pack...So he makes the (coveted) lists as both an AOJ and a NC musician.
Other than that he pretty much changed the face of music - not just jazz, but music - forever.
Oh yeah and A Love Supreme is what you hear when you ride that golden nugget buggy to Valhalla, not Stairway to Heaven as is commonly believed.
