Book excerpt: Tulsa, Oklahoma might not be the first place one considers in the history of American music but this city in northeastern Oklahoma has a rich and diverse musical heritage that deserved to be celebrated. You'll learn how Tulsa musicians and bands influenced the worlds of rock and roll, country, jazz, blues, R&B, hip hop, rap and so much more. There is the happy toe-tapping Western Swing played by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. The blend of rock and blues and jazz and swamp-style pop championed by Leon Russell and J.J. Cale. The danceable funk of The Gap Band and the smooth R&B of that group's lead singer, Charlie Wilson. Then there are country music stars like Garth Brooks and Zach Bryan. And Tulsa being a turning point for jazz legend Count Basie. Tulsa Sounds: Contributions to American Music is a must-read for anyone that loves music and wants to learn more about the rhythm of life found in the American Heartland.
