DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Colossus
From The Archives Of Something Blue March 19, 2023
https://sbblues.com/2023/03/19/dj-hairy-larry-presents-njhb-playing-colossus/
Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a song I wrote that NJHB played at my Senior Recital.
The Senior Recital is a rite of passage for music students, the most important recital in their undergraduate studies. My recital was on November 8, 2013, and I had been playing all year with NJHB, the New Jazz House Band. It only made sense to me to bring this rehearsed act to the Fine Arts Recital Hall to close the recital with 4 of my original compositions.
My song, "Colossus", was one of our favorites and we kicked off the NJHB set with it.
This recording of Colossus featured Arkansas musicians, Suzanne Michell - vocals, Addison Boling - drums, Matt Jackson - bass, Jay Shepherd - guitar, Don Bowyer - trombone, Joseph Curtis - trumpet, Cody Ballard - tenor sax, and Hairy Larry - piano and vocals.
Suzanne and Fred drove up from Little Rock to play the recital. Matt Jackson, from Kennett, Missouri, attended school at ASU, and Don Bowyer, who has played trombone all over the world, was the Dean of Fine Arts. I attended classes with all the other musicians and Jay and Cody have also taught at the music department. I was more than pleased to have such fine musicians presenting my songs at the recital.
Ok now, Here's NJHB, recorded live on November 8, 2013, playing "Colossus" in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.

And that's NJHB playing "Colossus" at my Senior Recital on November 8, 2013. Don't miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, to hear Bob Reynolds, The James Quintet, and Regis V. Gronoff.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing The Hop Skip Jump | Something Blue
Posted on Sunday August 10, 2025
Thanks Marty, today we’ll hear the premier recording of a new song I wrote recorded at KASU New Jazz In Jonesboro.
NJHB recorded their first album at HairyLarryLand on December 29, 2012. In 2013 we released 8 1/2 albums counting “Bop Soup” as half an album. We were back in 2018 and 2019, recording an album at every show. After the pandemic we recorded an album outside of the Round Room on November 5, 2023, and then, last week, we recorded “The Hop Skip Jump”.
We are a different kind of jazz band featuring group improvisation. On November 30, 2019, when we recorded our “Checking For Traps” album, I said, “Then we’re gonna do like NJHB does, we’re gonna not just improvise the solos, we’re gonna improvise the arrangement, we’ll go outside, do whatever we want, have a good time.”
So to explain some of this I’m going to do an analysis of the excerpt of “The Hop Skip Jump” we’re about to hear. I will post a link to the whole album at sbblues.com.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks With Danielle Russell Singing Ain’t Misbehavin’ | Something Blue
Posted on Monday July 07, 2025
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a jazz standard recorded at KASU New Jazz In Jonesboro.
New Jazz In Jonesboro started in 2013 at TheArts@311 on Church Street in downtown Jonesboro. Then in 2018 and 2019 we had two more seasons at the Jonesboro Public Library Round Room featuring some of the same musicians and many performers new to the New Jazz concerts. These shows were sponsored by KASU.
Now, in 2025, we’re back, once again sponsored by KASU.
We’ve had music in the Brookland United Methodist Youth Building before, sometimes because of the rain forcing us indoors. It’s a great small room with comfortable seating and good acoustics.
So that’s why New Jazz In Jonesboro is in Brookland!
We’ve had three shows so far this year, headlining Jazz Buskers, Bebop Beatniks, and The Delta Blues Aces.
