Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a jazz standard recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell in 2009.
When I met Rob Alley he was on the faculty in the ASU Music Department. I went to see him play trumpet at The Edge and he was nice enough to let me sit in on a couple of songs. So, when I was booking Sunday In The Park at The Bandshell I gave him a call and he agreed to come and play.
Playing with Rob Alley were David Eckert, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. David Eckert was a librarian at the Jonesboro Public Library and later on he taught bass at ASU. Mike Overall was president of the Jonesboro Jazz Society and Editor of the Jonesboro Sun. His column, Overall Comments, often highlighted the music scene in Jonesboro.
It was my good fortune to play with and record Mike and Dave many times and they are frequently featured on Something Blue. They also helped me many times promoting Blues Fest and setting up gigs at the Round Room in the public library.
It was hot at Craighead Forest Park and edging into summer so Rob Alley did a lot of songs about cooler weather.
So now, recorded at the bandshell, on June 21, 2009, here's the Rob Alley Trio playing "On a Clear Day".
