Music
Baltimore's most enduring music legacy might be in the realm of "old school" jazz where a number of natives made the big time after moving to New York City. Chick Webb, Eubie Blake, and Billie Holliday were all originally from Baltimore before moving on. The same zeitgeist also applies to classical minimalist composer Philip Glass, also from Baltimore and moved to NYC.
Others that would find fame in the music business from the area would include jazz-rock composer Frank Zappa and pop vocalist Mama Cass.
Younger generation artists such as Jay Verze, Stars and the Sea, Lazerbitch, StarrZ, Rickie Jacobs and, The Perfects are also becoming more popular via social networking sites.
