Welcome to Something Blue, I'm Hairy Larry and I've got Jazz Thursday, for you.

All right now, we're listening to Jazz Alliance recorded live at KASU's Jazz Thursday held at Gracie's Place in Jonesboro, Arkansas on May 27, 2010. We just heard an original by Ron Horton called "Partly Cloudy". Kicking us off they played a Latin number, "Recordame". "Recordame" featured Corey Emerson on bass.

This is Something Blue on KASU on the internet at sbblues.com and kasu.org. KASU promotes live music featuring area musicians with their Blue Monday, Bluesday Tuesday, Bluegrass Monday, and now Jazz Thursday shows. There's no music like live music and if you haven't been going to these shows you've been missing out on a good thing.

I've got two more songs from the Jazz Alliance dinner set. Here's "Dodo's Dance" and "You Should Have Anyway".

We're listening to KASU's Jazz Thursday on Something Blue tonight. Jazz Thursday is a Jazz Social with the emphasis on participation. It's held at Gracie's Place, 216 E. Highland in Jonesboro, Arkansas on the 4th Thursday of the month. It starts at 6:30 with a dinner set and ends with The Little Big Band. All musicians are invited to play with the Little Big Band, an arrangers and composers workshop where we read original charts.

As Mike Doyle said, we heard the great Joe Lee play "How High The Moon". Then Shugga Shane joined Jazz Alliance on "All Of Me". And that's me on the Jazz harmonica parts. 

Closing the show we have The Little Big Band playing another Ron Horton original, "Pulling Across The Lawn". Playing on this song are Craig Baker, Ron Horton, and John Bartell on trumpet; Shugga Shane, piano; Hairy Larry, guitar; David Eckert, bass; and John Long, drums. Here we go now with The Little Big Band.
