DJ Hairy Larry presents Giant Steps playing "Black Orpheus".
01. DJ Hairy Larry Presents Giant Steps at KASU Jazz Thursday
02. Something Blue - Amber - 29 second spot
Thanks Marty, today we're featuring a bossa recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.
The core group of Giant Steps was Craig Baker, trumpet; Joy Sanford, piano; Tom Mason, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. For Jazz Thursday they added Michael McGowan on tenor sax to fill out their quintet. These are all seasoned jazz professionals who lived and worked in Northeast Arkansas. Michael McGowan traveled in from Texas but he is a former Jonesboro resident.
May 23, 2013, was the first I met Michael McGowan. Since then I have been privileged to work and play with him at the Delta Jazz Workshop where he helped me rehearse a student small group and joined Bebop Beatniks for our Wednesday night performance. He is an amazing saxophonist as you are about to hear.
I have worked with the other members of Giant Steps many times, most memorably recording Joe Lee's album, "Boppin At The Forest". I even got to sit in with them one night on bass. I went to hear them play and it turns out they were short a bassist. So I took a short trip to HairyLarryLand to pick up my bass equipment and had a real good time.
"Manhã de Carnaval" translates to "Carnival Morning" and it was written by Luiz Bonfá, a Brazilian composer. It is credited as being one of the first bossa nova jazz tunes that popularized bossa in America. Also known as "A Day in the Life of a Fool" it was the theme song for the movie, "Black Orpheus". Jazz musicians picked up on it and in jazz circles it is commonly referred to as "Black Orpheus". Prepandemic it was in the Bebop Beatniks repertoire and I also have recordings of Suzanne Michell playing the song on piano.
So now, recorded on May 23, 2013, at KASU Jazz Thursday here's Giant Steps playing "Black Orpheus".

And that's Giant Steps playing "Black Orpheus" at KASU Jazz Thursday on May 23, 2013. Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, to hear a Michael McGowan feature recorded at the same concert, Yellowjackets, and El Buho.

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2023-11-05
Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear an original jazz song recorded this year at Blues Fest.
September 24, 2023, was the second Blues Fest with Doug Butler as stage manager. Vivian and I did Blues Fest for 25 years before we retired and it’s great to have someone else doing all the work while we get to go and enjoy the music.
So, thanks Doug.
I wrote “Sail Boats” during the pandemic and it’s featured on my “Hairy Larry Livestreams” album. When Bebop Beatniks started playing again it became a quick favorite and our trombonist, Rike Robinson, suggested that I write lyrics for it. So, one day, when I was driving in the car, I wrote the first verse. It’s a fantastic lyric all full of nautical references and song titles.
So, thanks Rike.

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a piano trio playing the blues at KASU Jazz Thursday.
I met Paul Richardson at the piano store hanging out flyers for Blue Fest 91, the first Blues Fest. He said he had a group that would like to play, Jonesboogie Blues, so I booked them on the spot. I wasn’t really expecting him to bring a grand piano but he did and they played a great set. I have recordings, somewhere in the archive, so now I’m going to have to dig them out for a future podcast. Like a lot of jobs, the more work I do the more work I have to do.
Paul continued helping us with Blues Fest through all 25 years. He was also a frequent guest with Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians. He even came and played at the church one Wednesday night. So when I started booking KASU Jazz Thursday I got in touch with him right away.
On June 24, 2010, he was our featured act. Then he stayed to play with the Adhoc Combo. Playing with Paul, that night, was Corey Emerson, bass and Carl Abraham, Drums. All three were living in Northeast Arkansas at the time, each with storied music careers in the area.
