Art of Cool Festival
b'North Carolina\\u2019s music scene is arguably the best it\\u2019s been in history. While the past has seen small pockets of the scene flourishing, whether it be the early-90s college rock scene, the hip-hop uprising of the late 90s and early 00s, or the recent flux of world class festivals, it seems like everything has finally started to come together for everyone. Hopscotch has brought national attention to Raleigh\\u2019s indie rock scene, and now Art of Cool seeks to do the same for Durham\\u2019s jazz scene. While many may feel that the genre is an antiquated area of music, Al Strong and Cicely Mitchell are doing everything in their power to change that.'
