There was a lot of rhythm and blues music that you couldn’t hear on the radio” said Hook author of “Shagging in the Carolinas” and two beach music volumes that will be published in September. “A restaurant in Carolina Beach N. decided to put many of these rhythm and blues songs on their jukebox” Hook said. “It became extremely popular in a hurry.

Jason Moran and the Bandwagon – Music – Review – New York Times
New York Times – Jul 13, 2007
The pianist Jason Moran takes the opposite tack: klieg lights confetti a marquee and a megaphone. At the Jazz Standard on Wednesday night he made a point of playing music by Thelonious Monk Andrew Hill and Jaki Byard the pianistic troika at the heart of his style. And he talked about his selections with casual enthusiasm. “Check out some Monk” he said at one point making it sound not like a class assignment but some kind of stock tip. It takes a reserve of confidence to reveal this much and Mr. Moran has his share… ver the last decade he has developed an unmistakable voice and temperament first as an instrumentalist and then as a bandleader conceptualist and composer. His approach is inquisitive his appetite expansive. Tellingly the set also featured “I’ll Play the Blues for You” and “Nobody” signature songs respectively for the blues hero Albert King and the minstrel pioneer Bert Williams. (Did he say “Check out some Bert Williams?” He did. ) The Bandwagon Mr. Moran’s fierce longstanding group didn’t follow his lead so much as flank him on both sides. Though it’s a trio with Tarus Mateen on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums its sound described something bigger and more indivisible.
