DJ Hairy Larry Presents Jazz Writers Big Band Playing "Elegy"

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a Big Band play a composition written by an Arkansas jazz educator.

I went to school at ASU with Joseph Curtis. After he graduated he was band director at Hoxie and Trumann. He's now in Law School in Little Rock.

I think the first time I recorded Joseph was when he was playing in an ASU small group called "Jazztette". Ron Horton wanted me to take some video of him teaching jazz improvisation and I also recorded their concert. I interviewed Dr. Horton and four of the students and produced a documentary, "Jazztette - Teaching Jazz Improvisation". They played an original jazz composition by Joseph Curtis called "Baile de Trece".

I also recorded his band, Bluebeck, at KASU Jazz Thursday and Bebopalooza. I got to sit in with Bluebeck on guitar at the Jazz Thursday show. Gary Gazaway was the headliner at the Bebopalooza show and he invited Joseph Curtis and Ron Horton up to play on their closing songs.

Joseph was in NJHB and he played at our first session on December 29, 2012 as well as on many NJHB shows and albums in 2013 including my senior recital.

Joseph has played with my band Bebop Beatniks frequently and he is featured on the album "Church". He would livestream with Bebop Beatniks from the Twitch Porch.

He participated in the KASU New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts at the public library. I got to play bass once with his band. He also played at New Jazz In Jonesboro with Ken Carroll and NJHB.

He contributed many of his songs to the Jazz Writers Big Band. I recorded most of their shows and the "Jazz Writers Big Band" album.

His brother Clinton Curtis plays amazing alto sax and I have also recorded him many times but that will have to be for another podcast.

Now here's the Jazz Writers Big Band playing the Joseph Curtis song, "Elegy".

Teryl's Tales of Whim~: ""We got pants last year," Vera…" - G+DBN
Posted on Tuesday September 03, 2024

"We got pants last year," Vera whined, "And shoes!"

"You're about to grow out of them," her parent reminded, "We still need to get you new books, pens, replace your backpack..."

Vera slumped, a little guilty about the backpack; it was meant to last her through to college, "Can I still get a new pendant?"

Change of Life
by K. Tempest Bradford

It all started because I wanted a pet. All of us younger kids did. But Mom always said that there wasn’t room for any pets cuz there were so many kids. She had a point, I guess. There were nine of us. But then David, my oldest brother, left home when he was only seventeen and a half to join the Peace Corps. Mom cried for three days straight. Dad said it was only because she was going through the Change of Life.

The day after she stopped crying there was a bunny in the living room. No cage, just a bunny. I guess Dad bought him hoping it would cheer Mom up–and it did. She sat on the couch holding the bunny for hours and told us all that we had a new family member: David the bunny. Katherine, my oldest sister, said that Mom named it David out of a sense of displacement or some other big word she liked to use just because she wanted to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist or some kind of person who messes with your head.

I wasn’t impressed. I wanted a dog.
