All right now, we're listening to Bob Dylan's new album, Tempest. That was "Narrow Way" and kicking us off tonight we heard "Duquesne Whistle". Bob Dylan, one of the finest poets and lyricists of the twentieth century, continues to write and perform today.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue. You can friend me or message me on Facebook or on the Delta Boogie Network at deltaboogie.net. As you probably know I have a particular love for Bob Dylan songs. His lyrics are always great. I even perform his songs Bob Dylan style with my harp on a rack. You can find out more about Bob Dylan and read the lyrics to fifty years of his songwriting at bobdylan.com.

I've got two more Dylan songs for you now. Here's the amazing "Tin Angel" and then from "Time Out Of Mind", "Can't Wait".

Now that's what I'm talking about. It's Jazz pianist, Bill Evans, playing a Miles Davis song, "Nardis". Before that we heard "Israel". These songs are from Evan's "Explorations" album. Evans began his career in the fifties playing with Cannonball Adderly and Miles Davis. He played on the Miles album "Kind Of Blue". Since then he has played mostly in a trio. Find out more about Bill Evans at billevanswebpages.com. Now, from the same album here's "Sweet and Lovely".

Oh yeah, another "Sweet And Lovely" by Elmo Hope. So that was two versions back to back, first Bill Evans and then Elmo Hope.

I'm going to close the show tonight with two more songs from the Elmo Hope CD, "Trio and Quintet". Elmo Hope followed in the tradition of Bud Powell and Thelonius Monk. He was a Bebop and Hard Bop genius playing with the finest Jazz musicians of his day including Sonny Rollins, Clifford Brown, Lionel Hampton, and John Coltrane. Elmo Hope passed on in 1967 when he was only 43 years old. Here's "Hot Sauce" and "It's A Lovely Day Today".
