Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a jazz standard played on a Steinway Baby Grand.
Suzanne and Fred have played for us regularly at Blues Fest, Bebopalooza, New Jazz In Jonesboro, they even came up from Little Rock to sing at my Senior Recital. Suzanne is a musician and an educator who gave private lessons from her studio in Little Rock. Besides teaching guitar and vocals Suzanne also plays and teaches piano.
When Fred had a chance to acquire a baby grand through an inheritance it was an opportunity they couldn't pass up. First the piano had to go to Steinway for a refurbish. And then it had to be moved to Little Rock. It's the kind of instrument that really sets off a studio both visually as well as with that great Steinway sound. There's a link on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com to some pictures Fred took of the piano.
I went to Little Rock for a weekend to record Suzanne playing her Steinway Baby Grand. She played originals, traditional songs, and jazz standards. Suzanne is the kind of musician that doesn't just play the notes. She plays the overtones, something Fred Hersch discusses on his Youtube videos. I did my best to get the sound of the piano in the room onto the recordings.
So now, recorded by Suzanne Michell in December of 2008, here's the jazz standard, "Tenderly".

And that's Suzanne Michell playing "Tenderly" on her Steinway Baby Grand. Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, to hear DJ Logic and The Special Purpose.

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.
