When it comes to Central Arkansas’s musical bragging rights, where they come from depends on who you ask. Ask a metalhead and they’ll regale you with playlists chock-full of tracks from Living Sacrifice, Rwake and Pallbearer. Ask a classical musician, and they’ll point to the legacies of Florence Price and William Grant Still. The country musician beside them will cue up “Walk the Line” and “Folsom Prison Blues.” Anyone, though, privy to Pharoah Sanders’ February performance at Pulaski Tech or hip to Louis Jordan’s pioneering work in swing, jump blues and “soundies” — a sort of prototype for the music video — will point to the jazz music born on Arkansas soil. Here’s a brush-up (or a primer) on a handful of the state’s loudest horns and best beboppers.

UPDATE: Stumped? Here’s the answer key.
