The Music is the Message
The DC area has produced many music greats. A lot of them are no
longer with us, but into the void come the fresh and the new and
not just from DC, from all over the world.
Recognizing this potential, I created DC Bebop as a beacon to
highlight the work of both established and growing artists.
DC Bebop is a voice for both the arts and music. While not a
panacea for a lack of press coverage for these artists, DC Bebop provides some exposure
that (hopefully) will help.

In support of artists, I highlight
weekly a musician on this page. It features a link
to the artist's MySpace music page as well as a
link to an online resource, which will generally be an article
about them...
Featured Musician
Featured this week,
Earl Carter - Guitarist, songwriter, arranger and producer - When Earl was 11 years old he bought a couple of books and began teaching himself to play the guitar. At 15 years old he began learning to play saxophone and performing in the school band, marching band and jazz ensemble. His bio says he practiced both "diligently" but eventually chose the guitar to be his main focus. He was a member of the "14 Karat" band and later played with "EU", recording music on the soundtrack of Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" movie soundtrack. In "1999 he laid several guitar tracks for many artists at Diddy's New York City recording facility, 'Daddy's House'." Earl has performed with many groups and played many styles of music from dance/go-go to jazz. He has been a studio musician, co-produced dialogue recordings for motivational speakers and sports stars, and he has performed with a host of local and world-renowned artists. To name a few, he has performed with Bobby Lyle, Marcus Johnson, Jaared, Alyson Williams, Nick Colionne, Bob Baldwin, Michael Lington, Angela Bofill, Regina belle, Gerald Veasley and opened for Pieces of a Dream, Spyro Gyra, Bona Fide and many others. He released "My Paradise"(2007) and "X Project" 2009.
