Caprice – From Dawn Til Dusk
njhb.bandcamp.com/album/from-dawn-til-dusk

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear one of the most popular jazz songs of all time played at KASU Jazz Thursday.

I worked with Mike Overall, Tom Mason, Joy Sanford, and Craig Baker on the Joe Lee “Boppin At The Forest” album. They also play in Giant Steps, a Jonesboro area jazz band. They usually add a sax and Craig Baker couldn’t have done better than calling on Michael McGowan. Craig knew McGowan since the eighties when they both played in the Jonesboro Jazz Society Big Band.

These musicians are all good friends of mine from Blues Fest to the Delta Jazz Workshop. I even got to play bass with Giant Steps one night in downtown Jonesboro when Tom Mason couldn’t make it.

So of course, I booked them into KASU Jazz Thursday and of course, they played a great show. We presented them on May 23, 2013, at TheArts@311.

So now, here’s Giant Steps, recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday, playing “Autumn Leaves”.

Thanks Marty, today on From The Archives Of Something Blue we’re featuring Common Time playing a Wayne Shorter standard at New Jazz In Jonesboro.

In 2018 we restarted New Jazz In Jonesboro, held monthly during the school year, in the Round Room of the Jonesboro Public Library. Each month NJHB would play as well as a guest act. We heard a lot of great music at these shows and continued them through 2019 until we were unfortunately shut down by the pandemic.

On October 13, 2018, the guest band was Common Time featuring Josh Carter on sax; Al Clevenger, piano; Spencer Rawlins, bass; and Chris Issom, drums. They were a working band who played fast and tight and I was always looking for an opportunity to present and record them. They were all ASU jazz students and Josh Carter also worked at the Public Library. I don’t know what it is about the library but over the years they sure have had a lot of great jazz musicians working there.

I want to thank KASU and the public library for supporting these events.

They came, they played, they conquered. And NJHB didn’t do too bad either, recording the Knocking Boots album featuring many of the same musicians. This week on Something Blue we’ll be featuring more recordings made at New Jazz In Jonesboro, but right now, were going to hear Common Time play the Wayne Shorter classic, “Footprints”.
