DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Cookin For Piper
From the Archives of Something Blue May 28, 2023

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a song I wrote, recorded at New Jazz In Jonesboro.

In 2013 we scheduled New Jazz In Jonesboro once a month at TheArts@311. We often played charts that had never seen a music stand before and although we were reading charts we leaned heavily into group improvisation and free jazz.

On July 6, 2013, we recorded the songs that would become the "Cookin' For Piper" album. Matt Jackson wrote "Cookin' For Piper". Joseph Curtis wrote "Working, P.M.". And I put "Monkey Walk" up, for the first time.

This is Hairy Larry inviting you to enjoy Something Blue every Saturday night at ten. This week we’re featuring Garage A Trois, Charlie Hunter, and The Common Time Quartet. For more about the show visit the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a jazz standard played In The Loft at The Edge.

The Common Time Quartet played some cooking jazz and blues. I was happy to book them on a double bill at The Edge Coffeehouse featuring The Common Time Quartet and Bebop Beatniks.

Unfortunately their sax player, Josh Carter, couldn't make the gig. Fortunately they got Tyler Remagen to sub. So they delivered a little bit different sound with Tyler on tenor instead of Josh's scorching alto sax.

Playing the gig were Alex Ditto, guitar; Spencer Rawlins, bass; Chris Issom, drums; and Tyler Remagen, tenor sax, all ASU students in the jazz program at the time and all of them from Northeast Arkansas.

All of these musicians helped me with my composition recitals and at one time or another played with Bebop Beatniks. Tyler Remagen played tenor sax in Bebop Beatniks for years and is featured on both of the albums.

So now, recorded In The Loft at The Edge on May 6, 2017, here's The Common Time Quartet playing the jazz standard, "All Of Me".

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing Dragonflight
From The Archives Of Something Blue May 14, 2023

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear one of my songs played in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.

Bebop Beatniks have been playing jazz in Jonesboro for a long time now. Earlier this year I put together a retrospective album. I searched all of our live performances for original songs and then I selected the best of these to put on the album, "Church". I will include a link to the whole album on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

On November 1, 2016, we played a composition recital in the Fine Arts Recital Hall. I picked my song "Dragonflight" for this week's podcast. Playing on the song were Sid Davis and Chris Wilson - trumpet, Nicholas Graves - alto, Jonathan Vickers - tenor, Austin Lynn - trombone, Kyle Kempf - bass, Alex Washam - drums, and Larry Heyl - piano. All ASU students at the time and almost all of us from Northeast Arkansas.

We called ourselves the October Octet. So how did that end up on the Bebop Beatniks album?

It turns out that every musician playing, except two, played in Bebop Beatniks or were regular guests with Bebop Beatniks. The band rehearsed for the recital and the execution of the horn harmonies on this recording is excellent. Far and away the best recording I have of this song.

So, since I could include it on the album, I did.

And that's the story about how my song "Dragonflight", played by the October Octet ended up on the Bebop Beatniks album, "Church"

So now, from the new Bebop Beatniks album here's a song I wrote, "Dragonflight" recorded right here at ASU.

And that's "Dragonflight" from the new Bebop Beatniks album, "Church". Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00 to hear more Bebop Beatniks, Natalie Cressman, The Bad Plus, and the Per Husby Septett.

From The Archives Of Something Blue May 7, 2023

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a brand new blues rock song recorded in Wynne, Arkansas.

Mr. John B. Shepherd is famous for his live blues guitar shows. I like to say, “I ain’t saying John Shepherd is better than anyone else, but there sure ain’t nobody else that plays better than him.”

John also has a studio in his basement in Wynne, Arkansas. John calls it StudioJS. We recorded some of the tracks there for our Delta Legends album, “Two Woman Blues”.

Well, this winter John got to work down in his studio and recorded a new album, “Guitar Soul”, that we are planning to release on HairyLarryLand. And from that album we’ll be hearing a pre-release version of “One Eyed Jack”. Our friend, Michael Riley, played drums on the album but on this song John used Zoom drums built into his multitrack recorder.
