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”.

Thanks Marty, this week on From The Archives we’re featuring some blues guitar from Delta Legends.
On June 10, 2018, I took a drive down to John Shepherd’s studio to record with Delta Legends. John Shepherd and Jeremy Burnett are both from Wynne and I live outside of Brookland. We recorded several songs and three of them are featured on our CD, “Two Woman Blues”. At the session John played guitar, Jeremy was on harp, and I’m on the bass. We all sing.
John is a virtuoso electric blues guitarist who plays especially well on slow blues standards like “Red House” and “Last Night”. One of the songs we recorded that day is a John Shepherd original called “These Blues”. John wrote it, John sings it, and John’s on guitar. Here’s Delta Legends now playing “These Blues”.

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”.

Reba Russell was definitely a favorite with the Bluesday Tuesday audience and one of my favorites as well. When she was booked for November 13, 2012, she was glad to come and play but she wanted someone on sound so I got recruited. I ran my recording deck and the mix board which isn’t as hard as it sounds when the band is as good as the Reba Russell Band.
They played great and I got many good recordings. I’m playing some fantastic contemporary R&B on Something Blue this Saturday so I picked “At Last”, the Etta James classic. A great song and a great performance from Reba Russell, here she is now singing “At Last”.

Thanks Marty, It’s great to be here on Arkansas Roots sharing songs from the archives of Something Blue.
I met John Spencer at Blues Fest and it wasn’t long before we had John and Tommy, The Spencer Brothers, on stage. John came to me with some songs that he and Tom Turner wrote, Tom was the lyricist and John put them to music. John is a regular at KASU events, both playing and in the audience and Tom Turner was raised at Burnt Hill, just down the road from me.

Thanks Marty, I’m playing some Zappa songs Saturday and the closest thing I could find in the archives was NJHB live at Blues Fest.
2013 was a great year for NJHB, the New Jazz House Band. We released 9 albums and then we played at my Senior Recital. On September 8 we recorded “Live At Blues Fest” and I picked one of my songs, “Monkey Walk”, for this week’s From The Archives Of Something Blue.
In solo order we’ll hear Don Bowyer, trombone; James Carvell, guitar; Mike “Zif” Lovell, guitar; Hairy Larry, piano; George Hinds, bass; and Carl Abraham, drums. I also play a little harmonica at the end trading off with James Carvell playing guitar through his talk box.
We were all living in Northeast Arkansas at the time. Most of us attended ASU and Don Bowyer was the Dean of Fine Arts.
There is another special connection to KASU I’d like to point out. James Carvell’s father, Richard Carvell, was on the faculty at ASU and for a couple of years he was Station Manager at KASU.
Ok now, here’s the music, NJHB doing “Monkey Walk”.

Thanks Marty, I’ve got a great blues song this week performed live at the Fall Ball by Delta Legends.
On September 30, 2017 Delta Legends took a road trip down to the Mississippi Hill Country to play at the Fall Ball. We originally booked to busk on Saturday morning but they offered us a slot early Saturday afternoon so we got to play that too. “All Over Again” is a blues standard made famous by B.B. King and Paul Butterfield. It’s one of our best songs and inspired by the festival stage we nailed it.
And, about that busking Saturday morning. We recorded that too and those songs are included on our CD, “Two Woman Blues”. It was a very productive day.
Now here’s Delta Legends playing “All Over Again”.

I had worked with Joe Lee on several projects using master tapes he had recorded at Alley so when he asked me to work on a recording project with him I was all in. He had a folio or band book from when he had a touring band and he wanted to get some of the arrangements down on tape. Of course this was in the early days of digital recording so I actually went direct to computer.
The songs in his book were jazz standards. He had also written a song he called “Boppin’ At The Forest” because he loved playing at Blues Fest in Craighead Forest Park. He told me the song was based on a warmup riff he liked to play before a show.
Musicians on the song are Joe Lee, tenor sax; Dru Davison, bari sax; Craig Baker, trumpet; Joy Sanford, piano; Tom Mason, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. We set up the new Alley Studio in Joe’s house and recorded 14 songs, a fantastic album. Now here’s the title track, “Boppin’ At The Forest”.

In 2013 Matt Jackson played bass in my band, NJHB, house band for the New Jazz In Jonesboro series held at TheArts@311. Matt played in another band called the Steve Davis Trio and he arranged for them to play at KASU Jazz Thursday on February 28, 2013. Matt is an excellent musician and I knew the band would be good but nobody was really prepared for just how good Steve Davis played. Here he is now playing the Thelonius Monk song, “‘Round Midnight”.
Thanks Marty, it’s so great to be with you all on Arkansas Roots playing songs From The Archives of Something Blue.
On October 23, 2010, Bebopalooza, sponsored by KASU and the Music Department was held at The Edge Coffeehouse right here in Jonesboro. The Ad Hoc Combo played a blues I cowrote with Richard Murray called “Not There Yet”. Featuring Ron Horton, trumpet; David Hall, sax; Craig Collison, vibes; Corey Emerson, bass; Mike Overall, drums; and Hairy Larry, guitar we delivered on a slow blues. Here we are now playing “Not There Yet”.

Thanks Marty, I just love being here on Arkansas Roots with some great jazz From The Archives of Something Blue.
I met Tim Moore and Clinton Curtis when they were still in High School, jamming at Jazz Alliance shows at The Edge Coffeehouse. When they came to ASU they helped me with some of my recitals and I started recording Tim’s band, Caprice. Tim left ASU for North Texas State, another top jazz school, but he was back in 2014 on summer break. Jazz musicians love to play and when he called me about performing I got him to bring a band to Jazz Thursday on June 15, 2014. Some of the musicians playing with him that night were ASU students, Alex Ditto, guitar; Cody Ballard and Clinton Curtis, sax; Kevin Tinker, trumpet; Addison Boling, drums; and Matt Bounds, bass. Tim Moore was on piano and here they are now playing Funky Palisades.
