DJ Hairy Larry Presents Jerry Bone Playing Something

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-12-29

Jerry Bone And Illa Jones Playing At The Arkansas Roots Festival

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.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing Low Earth Orbit

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-12-08

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.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Josh Parks Playing Part Time Love

From The Archives Of Something Blue - 2024-11-03

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear an Arkansas Blues Man play a song about relationship problems.

I went to the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena Arkansas, in October, 2024, camping for the first time since before the pandemic. My friend Brent and I went down to the main stage on Wednesday night and we saw Josh Parks jamming the blues.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Cold Fusion

From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-06-30

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear NJHB play a tribute to nuclear physics.

NJHB, the New Jazz House Band, is a live act hosting the New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts. We did, however, release two studio albums, our first album, "Circular Logic" was recorded at HairyLarryLand in Jonesboro in 2012. And then, on July 20, 2018, we recorded "Quantum Blues" at my new studio, outside of Brookland.

I wrote all three songs on the album, "Cold Fusion", "Quantum Blues", and "Entanglement". All named for concepts in nuclear physics at the frontiers of science. And for NJHB, the songs are short with the longest one just under eight minutes.

Also unique in the NJHB repertoire the band is a jazz trio featuring Tyler Remagen on tenor sax; Spencer Rawlins, bass; and Hairy Larry, piano. Having fewer musicians playing did not stop us from engaging in the NJHB trademark group improvisation.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Moore's Code Playing Every Day

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.
