DJ Hairy Larry Presents Moore's Code Playing Every Day
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-11-24
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a jazz song written by a former ASU
student.
Tim Moore would sit in with Jazz Alliance when he was in High School, driving in from Southern Missouri. Then he spent two years in the ASU Jazz Program while Ron Horton was the director of the Jazz Department. It was during that time that Tim and his brother Brandon wrote the songs for the Caprice album, "from dawn til dusk". We released that album on HairyLarryLand in 2013 and we still love it at KASU.
Of course, Tim didn't quit writing jazz songs after he left ASU. He went on to the outstanding jazz program at North Texas State where he honed his skills as a composer, a pianist, and a bandleader.
We featured Caprice several times at KASU jazz shows and then later his new band Moore's Code. I was not surprised that their self titled album, "Moore's Code", sounded as good as it does. It's on bandcamp. I'll post a link on the Something Blue website, sbblues.com. Highly recommended.
We'll hear some more songs from this album, Saturday night on Something Blue. For today I picked a song featuring blues piano, organ, and guitar with a tremendous melody played on the saxophone.
And that's Moore's Code playing the Tim Moore composition, "Every Day". Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, to hear more Moore's Code, Joe Henderson, and Mike Stern.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Big Creek Band Playing Sing Me Back Home
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2021-12-01
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear Big Creek Band play some real country music at Blues Fest.
I always say we play all kinds of music at Blues Fest because when you get right down to it, it’s all blues.
Dennis Mathes was the bandleader of Big Creek Band with Sonny Ackerman on guitar and George Hinds on bass. They all played at Blues Fest every year and Dennis and Sonny were out at the park every week helping me build the bandshell.
Also playing on September 16, 2001, were David Pearce, vocals and guitar; Dave Pearson, vocals and guitar; and Mark Hill, drums.
The song we’re playing today features Dave Pearson singing a Merle Haggard song. And it don’t get more country than that.
Now for the interesting part of the story. I was rummaging around in the archives also known as a box of old CDs when I found a DVD labeled Big Creek Band. I looked at that and I thought, this is gold.
The video looks like it was shot on a VHS camcorder and it’s kind of rough with some skips and stops here and there. Fortunately the music was with us and one of the best songs recorded start to finish with no audio issues.
I copied the DVD to my hard drive digitizing it with Handbrake. And I uploaded it to the Something Blue Archives, one of my collections on the Internet Archive.
I used VLC to convert the video to an audio file and then I got the song I wanted from that. There is also a Dennis Mathes original on the video and I’m hoping to find an audio version of that song without the skips and stops. I recorded every show at every Blues Fest so I should have it around here somewhere.
Ok, that was all very exciting but not quite as exciting as this moment, right now, when I get to share this music with you.
Recorded at Blues Fest, on September 16, 2001, Here’s Big Creek Band with Dave Pearson singing the Merle Haggard song “Sing Me Back Home”.

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
