DJ Hairy Larry Presents Hairy Larry Playing Noumenology
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2025-01-12
Thanks Marty, today I’m going to improvise jazz piano on a song inspired by Immanuel Kant.
Now Immanuel Kant was an influential philosopher back in the 18th century and he remains influential today. Kant created a dichotomy between phenomenon and noumena where phenomenon applies to things we can perceive with the senses and noumena are things that cannot be perceived. So I wrote this song called “Noumenolgy” about the study of things that cannot be perceived.

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear an Arkansas musician play all the instruments over a drum track on his arrangement of “Something”.
And not just anything either. I’m talking about the George Harrison song “Something”, one of the most famous and most popular of the Beatles’ songs.
To say Jerry Bone is a fixture in Arkansas music is an understatement. He played bass with Mark Sallings and The Famous Unknowns when they were the house band at B.B. King’s Club on Beale Street. He also played with Tony Spinner.
He has a bit of history with KASU too playing with David Lynn Jones, Gerry Moss, and The Lockhouse Orchestra.
Besides playing bass for other musicians Jerry Bone also plays exceptional guitar and has released his own albums. His album, “Yankin’ The Covers” is very well produced, which shouldn’t be surprising since he runs his own recording studio in Hardy, Arkansas.
I even played songs he recorded for Corte’ on Something Blue recorded by Jerry Bone at Bare Bones Recording.
On the song we’re going to hear today Jerry is playing everything except the drum track. The song is part of his “Scattered And Smothered” collection.
So here’s Jerry Bone now playing the Beatles song, “Something”.

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to celebrate the days of Auld Lang Syne.
Ok, I strive for variety in my From The Archives Of Something Blue podcasts. Fortunately I have a huge backlog of recordings in many styles of music.
This is the first time I’ve ever played the exact same band playing at the exact same concert one week apart.
But when I found “What Child Is This” on a KASU Jazz For The Holidays concert I noticed that they ended the show with “Auld Lang Syne”. And you know, New Years follows Christmas every year so.
The song is based on Scottish folk songs. I quote.
Robert Burns sent a copy of the original song to the Scots Musical Museum in 1788 with the remark, “The following song, an old song, of the olden times, and which has never been in print, nor even in manuscript until I took it down from an old man.”*
Much of the lyric was actually written by Robert Burns.
The first recording of the song was made on wax cylinder in 1898.*
Playing that night were.
Lisa Ahia – vocals
Gary Gazaway – trumpet
Joy Sanford – piano
Tim Crouch – violin
Robert Bowlin – guitar
David Eckert – bass
and
John Long – drums

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear jazz, in space!
When I was writing for NJHB back in 2018 I wrote some titles based on physics, “Cold Fusion”, “Quantum Blues”, and “Entanglement”, followed by some titles based on space flight, “Stratospheric”, “Artificial Gravity”, and “Low Earth Orbit”.
“Low Earth Orbit” was the most accessible and the most fun to play and I have kept it in my repertoire ever since I wrote it, live streaming it through the pandemic and then playing it with Bebop Beatniks and Jazz Buskers.
The song is loosely based on “I’ve Got Rhythm” except even easier and played in a slow shuffle beat. I call it Honky Tonk jazz. Great for slow dancing.
Bebop Beatniks played it this year at Beatles At The Ridge and then again at Blues Fest. Like last year, our Blues Fest performance was exceptional, and I am releasing an album recorded at the bandshell on September 29, 2024, called “The Blue Crane”.
Check the Something Blue website at sbblues.com for links. Also the Bebop Beatniks website is at bebopbeatniks.com.
The rhythm section at Blues Fest was Jeremy Jackson, bass; Alex Washam, drums; and I’m on piano. We all live in Northeast Arkansas. We featured a new saxophonist, Dr. Paul Lessard, who is on the faculty in the music department.
Ok now, recorded September 29, 2024, at Blues Fest, here’s Bebop Beatniks playing “Low Earth Orbit”.

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear jazz from NJHB recorded at the very beginning.
I was planning on starting the New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts at TheArts@311 in 2013. It was Christmas break so I scheduled a session on December 29, 2012, with the founding members on NJHB.
I was rolling tape but I wasn’t really expecting to record an album. Turns out we played pretty good and we did. We recorded live in the studio, with just two mics recording the room, and we did it the NJHB way. We improvised the arrangements. We recorded four songs. I think I was the only musician there who had ever played them before. As I usually do with NJHB songs I made a radio mix for Arkansas Roots.
In our favor we had a room full of outstanding musicians.
Mike Lovell – guitar
Garrett Tyler – drums
Matt Jackson – bass
Hairy Larry – Fender Rhodes
Cody Ballard – tenor sax
and
Joseph Curtis – trumpet and flugelhorn

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Jazz Writers Big Band Playing “Elegy”
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-08-25
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a Big Band play a composition written by an Arkansas jazz educator.
I went to school at ASU with Joseph Curtis. After he graduated he was band director at Hoxie and Trumann. He’s now in Law School in Little Rock.
I think the first time I recorded Joseph was when he was playing in an ASU small group called “Jazztette”. Ron Horton wanted me to take some video of him teaching jazz improvisation and I also recorded their concert. I interviewed Dr. Horton and four of the students and produced a documentary, “Jazztette – Teaching Jazz Improvisation”. They played an original jazz composition by Joseph Curtis called “Baile de Trece”.
I also recorded his band, Bluebeck, at KASU Jazz Thursday and Bebopalooza. I got to sit in with Bluebeck on guitar at the Jazz Thursday show. Gary Gazaway was the headliner at the Bebopalooza show and he invited Joseph Curtis and Ron Horton up to play on their closing songs.
Joseph was in NJHB and he played at our first session on December 29, 2012 as well as on many NJHB shows and albums in 2013 including my senior recital.
Joseph has played with my band Bebop Beatniks frequently and he is featured on the album “Church”. He would livestream with Bebop Beatniks from the Twitch Porch.
He participated in the KASU New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts at the public library. I got to play bass once with his band. He also played at New Jazz In Jonesboro with Ken Carroll and NJHB.
He contributed many of his songs to the Jazz Writers Big Band. I recorded most of their shows and the “Jazz Writers Big Band” album.
His brother Clinton Curtis plays amazing alto sax and I have also recorded him many times but that will have to be for another podcast.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Gary Gazaway Playing Leviathan
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-08-11
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a contemporary jazz song recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.
Gary Gazaway’s “El Buho” band was a popular touring act so it was great to get Gary to play at Jazz Thursday. We were putting on monthly shows at TheArts@311 in downtown Jonesboro and, don’t get me wrong, all the bands that played were great. I feature music from all of these shows on Something Blue and on my podcast, From The Archives Of Something Blue.
But we were really excited to get Gary Gazaway to put together a fusion band to play his compositions for us at Jazz Thursday. Gary has played with everyone, all over the world, from Steve Winwood and Joe Cocker to Phish. And he had great musicians in his band including Victor Wooten and my friend, Dr. Perry Osborne, a Jonesboro guitarist who did his undergraduate work at ASU.
Playing with Gary at Jazz Thursday on June 27, 2013 were
Patrick Fusco – keyboards
Doc Samba – Bass
Pee Wee Jackson – drums

But we were really excited to get Gary Gazaway to put together a fusion band to play his compositions for us at Jazz Thursday. Gary has played with everyone, all over the world, from Steve Winwood and Joe Cocker to Phish. And he had great musicians in his band including Victor Wooten and my friend, Dr. Perry Osborne, a Jonesboro guitarist who did his undergraduate work at ASU.
Playing with Gary at Jazz Thursday on June 27, 2013 were
Patrick Fusco – keyboards
Doc Samba – Bass
Pee Wee Jackson – drums
