DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Circular Logic
From The Archives Of Something Blue - 2025-02-09

Thanks Marty, today we'll hear a band of students play the title track from their first album.
When I came up with the idea of doing the New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts at TheArts@311 I was a jazz student at ASU. So it stood to reason that I would recruit the New Jazz House Band, known as NJHB, from my fellow students.
We had our first session at the HairyLarryLand studio in Jonesboro at the very end of 2012. We recorded four songs, all original compositions. I was the only one who had played any of them before so it was kind of like jumping off into the deep end. No rehearsals, just put the music up on the stand, talk for a minute, and record it.
I took what we recorded and released our first album, "Circular Logic".
All of what came to be known as the NJHB sound, improvising the arrangements, leaving the chord change, group improvisation, and unusual instrumentation, was on display on that first album. As always, this was the only album with this exact lineup.
Playing at the session were
Mike Lovell - guitar
Garrett Tyler - drums
Matt Jackson - bass
Hairy Larry - piano
Cody Ballard - tenor sax
and
Joseph Curtis - trumpet and flugelhorn
Garrett, Cody, Joseph, and myself were in the ASU jazz program at the time. Mike and Matt attended ASU earlier. We all lived in Northeast Arkansas except for Matt who lives in southeast Missouri.
I've got to tell you these guys all played good. The one thing that makes NJHB work is talented musicians.
We generally played arrangements from 15 to 20 minutes long. Not exactly radio friendly. I did a new mix of "Circular Logic" keeping it all there but choosing the best choruses for this podcast. Go to the Something Blue website at sbblues.com for a link to the whole album including 12 plus minutes of this song as originally released.
Ok now, going back to the very beginning, recorded on December 29, 2012, here's NJHB playing my song, "Circular Logic".

I played this on my twitch livestream on October 17, 2021, with an arrangement designed for collaboration. Collaborators play over a piano trio with the bass and drums provided by an irealpro script with the chords for my original song, "Malaysia". The irealpro app can be viewed running on my tablet on the right side of the video screen.

Posted on Monday March 17, 2025Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a great Arkansas jazz pianist play everybody’s favorite song.
I can remember, back in the day, when I used to watch the Art Porter Trio play jazz on AETN. Older listeners will remember a time when all the world’s music wasn’t at your fingertips and it wasn’t that often that you got to hear a piano trio on television.
Art Porter led a full life with church, family, music education, and performance, often intertwined. That is he started playing at church and later he played at church with his own family, who he taught to play. He also taught in Little Rock, Arkansas, at Horace Mann High School, Parkview High School, and Philander Smith College while performing nights with a jazz trio that sometimes included his son, Art Porter Jr., and sometimes a guest, Pharoah Sanders.
My friend, Suzanne Michell, loved his music and she sang with him as a guest. He even played with his long time friend, Bill Clinton, and Art Porter and his son performed “Amazing Grace” at Bill Clinton’s first inauguration in 1993.
When I’m about to play this song I say, “Ok now, here’s everybody’s favorite song, “Summertime”.
So now, here’s Art Porter, a great man and a genius on jazz piano playing everybody’s favorite song, “Summertime”.

Posted on Sunday March 09, 2025DJ Hairy Larry Presents Common Time Playing Autumn Leaves
From the Archives Of Something Blue 2025-03-09
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear ASU students play my favorite song.
Common Time was a working jazz combo, playing every week. I was in school with them and they all helped me, playing at my composition recitals. Of course I invited them to play at the bandshell.
Playing in Common Time On June 3, 2017 were
Josh Carter – sax
Alex Ditto – guitar
Spencer Rawlins – bass
and
Chris Isom – drums
Although they were still in college in 2017, these are all top rank musicians, still playing today.
I can’t tell you what a joy it is to hear young musicians deliver the goods playing jazz standards. But I’ll try. Their set was tight with exciting solos and ensemble work. And they were playing some of my favorite songs. There’s something about live jazz that gets the message across. The audience loved them.
So now, recorded on June 3, 2017, at the Craighead Forest Bandshell here’s Common Time playing “Autumn Leaves”.
