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.

This is Hairy Larry inviting you to enjoy Something Blue every Saturday night at ten. This week we’re featuring Jam Just Happened and Soulive. For more about the show visit the Something Blue website at http://sbblues.com.

Don’t miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00 PM CST, at http://kasu.org.
