Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing some great jazz from a Jonesboro jazz master.
First I helped Joe Lee digitize some of hs Alley hits for his “Sounds Of The Sixties” CD. We developed a good working arrangement so he invited me to work with him on another CD. This would be a jazz CD featuring songs he had recorded at Alley and also a live performance of “What’s New”.
As we collected the material from his master tapes I realized we were doing something important. These Joe Lee arrangements and performances archive an era of swing jazz that’s an important part of music history.
I didn’t make the recordings but Vivian and I worked hard to assure that the best possible quality went on the CD, both the music and the cover art. Joe was appreciative and he gave me coproducer credits on the album. We went on from there to coproduce another album I did record, “Boppin’ At The Forest”, but that’s a story for another From The Archives episode.
Here he is now, Joe Lee, singing a jazz standard released on his “Swings On” album, “Sweet Lorraine”.

Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing contemporary blues recorded at the Arkansas Roots Festival.
Sweet Angel is from Memphis and I had been playing her songs on Something Blue and promoting her act on Delta Boogie for years so when I saw she was booked for the Arkansas Roots Festival I was excited that I would get to hear her sing.
She did not disappoint. There’s no music like live music and yes, experiencing Sweet Angel live is an entirely different experience from listening to her recordings. She’s a fantastic vocalist and songwriter and she also plays a mean saxophone.
Here she is now, Sweet Angel, singing a song she wrote called “I’d Rather Be Myself”.

Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing Bebop Beatniks recorded at the Delta Jazz Workshop.
The Delta Jazz Workshop is a week long summer jazz clinic available to any musician who wants to attend but it’s mostly Arkansas high school students who might be interested in continuing their music studies at ASU. Besides playing music all day the students also get to listen to live jazz every night. It has been my pleasure to bring Bebop Beatniks to play on Wednesday nights for several years.
On July 10, 2019, we had a special performance since we were joined by Bebop Beatniks alumnus, Kevin Tinker, trumpet, and Emily Lindley, vibes, as well as guest clinicians Michael McGowan, sax, and Jay Shepherd, guitar.
Bebop Beatniks are Jeremy Jackson, bass; Alex Washam, drums; and Hairy Larry, piano and vocals. So it was a Septet with two horns in front and an enlarged rhythm section.
Playing with these great musicians for a jazz audience was a fantastic experience.
Recorded right here at ASU on July 10, 2019, here’s Bebop Beatniks playing the jazz standard “It Could Happen To You”.

Thanks Marty. This week on From the Archives of Something Blue we’re hearing some real blues recorded at Bluesday Tuesday.
Billy Jones Bluez is from Central Arkansas so Bluesday Tuesday in Newport was a good fit for them with less travel time than driving all the way to Jonesboro. I got to record them at KASU Bluesday Tuesday on August 9, 2011, and I have played recordings from this show on Something Blue many times.
What can I say about Billy Jones? He writes great songs and also picks great cover songs for his repertoire. He’s an outstanding guitarist and vocalist. He leads a great band. He’s an exceptional showman who adds a lot of humor to his show. And he is very versatile playing blues, country, and rock. Whenever I have seen him play he always put on a show. He’s a real entertainer.
For today I picked the blues classic, “Hurts Me Too” and there will be more songs from this same show on Something Blue this week. Here they are now, Billy Jones Bluez, playing “Hurts Me Too”.

Thanks Marty, on this weeks From The Archives Of Something Blue I’ve got some Hiphop recorded at HairyLarryLand.
My son, Carl Heyl, plays bass in Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians. He’s an excellent musician so when he told me he and his friends wanted to record some vocal numbers at my studio I was all in. Five of them showed up, all vocalists, with one acoustic guitar and a few percussion instruments. So it’s vocals in the foreground all the time over minimalist backing. I really don’t know why more groups don’t do this. Concentrate on harmony vocals and keep the instrumentation sparse. It’s a great way to deliver the material with a clean sound.
Singing for the recordings were Carl Heyl, Tim Hose, Marissa Farmer, Meghan Allen, and Jen Hose, all from Arkansas and students at ASU. Recorded at my HairyLarryLand Studio on November 6, 2011, here they are now singing “We Are Who We Are”.

Thanks Marty, this week on From The Archives we’ve got a jazz standard recorded at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.
Rob Alley taught at ASU and I recorded him several times at The Edge Coffeehouse so I was thrilled when I was able to book him to play at the bandshell on June 21, 2009. Playing with Rob Alley was David Eckert on bass and Mike Overall, drums. The audience loved their set of jazz standards. I will be playing more from this show on Something Blue this week.
For From The Archives I picked one of the most famous songs in jazz history. a Miles Davis composition from “Kind Of Blue”, here’s the Rob Alley Trio playing “So What”.

From The Archive April 25, 2021 – Blind Mississippi Morris – “You Know I Like That” | Something Blue
Thanks Marty, this week on From The Archives we got the real blues.
Blind Mississippi Morris came from a musical family, cousin to Willie Dixon and also cousin to Robert and Mary Diggs who led the Memphis Sheiks. Bluzharp magazine named him as one of the 10 best harmonic players in the world.
So I was lucky to be able to record him at a KASU Blue Monday held in Paragould, Arkansas, on May 16, 2011. He was joined by his regular accompanist, Brad Webb on guitar and kick drum. And that’s our Arkansas tie for Blind Mississippi Morris. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, he made Memphis his home, both across the river from Arkansas. But he would still come to Arkansas to play and I will never forget his performance at Blue Monday ten years ago.
Here’s Blind Mississippi Morris now singing “You Know I Like That”.

Thanks Marty, this week on From The Archives we’re featuring some blues recorded at Blues Fest.
The Mudcats were the Blues Fest House Band. We had a band call in sick so I gathered some musicians from the audience and told everyone we were The Mudcats. After hosting the jam set and filling in again people started asking when The Mudcats were going to play. So we ended up on the schedule.
The core group was George Hinds, bass; Randy Gambill, drums, and I was on guitar. We always had guests and on September 2, 2007, we had Scott Mathis on lead guitar. Which was appropriate because the song we’re going to hear is “Guitar Blues”.
Now here are The Mudcats playing a song I wrote called “Guitar Blues”.

Thanks Marty, this week on From The Archives we’re featuring more jazz recorded right here in Jonesboro.
Caprice was a student band at ASU and I had been recording their recitals. When they decided to record an album they asked me and I was very excited to record these great songwriters and musicians. After all the work they had put into developing their band sound it was important to me to get their songs down before Tim Moore and Brandon Moore left ASU to continue their jazz education at North Texas State.
Playing in Caprice were Tim Moore, piano; Brandon Moore, sax; Alex Ditto, guitar; Matt Bounds, bass; and Addison Boling, drums.
Here they are now playing a Brandon Moore composition, “Papa Samba”.

I was enjoying a Jazz Alliance performance at The Edge Coffeehouse after I retired and on break I was talking to Janie Overall who told me that at ASU the state pays the tuition for senior citizens, 60 or over. So I can say that it was Jazz Alliance that brought me back to ASU where I took Percussion lessons from Craig Collison and Jazz Improv from Ron Horton. Soon after that I resumed my composition studies and resumed hosting Something Blue at KASU.
Ron Horton wrote some great songs and I began recording their live performances collecting the tracks that ended up on their “Partly Cloudy” CD. Playing on the CD are Ron Horton, trumpet; Craig Collison, vibes; David Eckert, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. They helped me start the KASU Jazz Thursday concerts and also played at Bebopalooza! Their personnel have strong connections to ASU and the public library.
They were a great band and I have featured them many times on Something Blue, mostly playing jazz standards recorded at public performances. This week I am featuring originals written by Ron Horton. Here’s Jazz Alliance now playing “12 Bar Bruise”.
