Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a song I wrote this year and recorded at HairyLarryLand.
Paul Lessard is one of the finest jazz saxophonists I have ever worked with. When he joined the faculty at ASU I went to meet him to talk about music composition because, the truth is, there’s just not that many people into the nuts and bolts of music theory and composition. When I found out that he played jazz saxophone I knew I wanted to play with him.

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to bring the funk as played by a band that was popular here in Jonesboro before the pandemic.
Of course I’m talking about The Funk Donors. I never did get to hear them play live but I knew them by their reputation and I wanted to go see them since some of my friends were in the band. Fortunately they recorded a great album, “Flatland” and if you love live music like I do you can watch their videos on Youtube.
This all started when I went to see luvtrst. play at Stage Too. I was talking to Brian Nobles when he mentioned that he used to play in a band with Cody Ballard, the saxophonist in luvtrst. Well, my inquiring ears want to hear so I found out about the band and their album, “Flatland”.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Pansy Hall
From The Archives Of Something Blue February 5, 2023
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear some southern soul recorded at Soundworks, right here in Jonesboro.
I played with Aaron Love at Blues Fest 91 but we never performed together on a regular basis until I had my juke house at Old Town Nettleton. In 1997 I put together a band featuring Aaron and a female vocalist, Pansy Hall. We had a tight Memphis sound with harmony vocals. We sang Blues and R&B cover songs as well as a few originals.

Thanks Marty, I just love playing some great jazz on Arkansas Roots.
I met Rob Alley when he was on the music faculty at ASU. He played jazz trumpet and was very helpful to jazz students letting them sit in when he played at The Edge Coffeehouse. I invited him to play at the Craighead Forest Bandshell on June 21, 2009, and he put together a great band with Mike Overall on drums and Dave Eckert on bass. Mike was editor at the Jonesboro Sun and Dave is currently on the faculty at ASU teaching jazz bass and he’s the head librarian at the Public Library where we do our New Jazz In Jonesboro shows.
Ok now, here’s the Rob Alley Trio recorded on June 21, 2009, at the Craighead Forest Bandshell playing “A Foggy Day”.

In the summer of 2018 Bebop Beatniks recorded the album “Leaves” at my HairyLarryLand studio. It was fun to work on some originals without the stage pressure of a live show. You will hear Sid Davis – trumpet, Tyler Remagen – sax, Emily Lindley – vibes, Alex Washam – drums, Paul Nunis – bass, and I’m on piano. At the time of the recording we were on summer break from classes at ASU, we were all students except for Paul who is on the faculty. Everyone solos except me. I wrote the song. Here’s Bebop Beatniks now, playing “In The Zone”.
