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

All right now, that's the Ad Hoc Combo recorded live at KASU's Bebopalooza! on October 23, 2010 at The Edge. We heard "Not There Yet" a Heyl, Horton, Murray composition and then one written by Ron Horton, "Pulling Across The Lawn".

You're listening to Something Blue on KASU. We're featuring music I recorded at Bebopalooza!, a KASU Jazz Festival that grew out of the Jazz Thursday shows. We will be back in January with Jazz Thursday and we hope to hold Bebopalooza! again in the Spring.

For a list of all the musicians that played at Bebopalooza! go to the Jazz Thursday website at reverbnation.com/jazzthursday.

Here's Louella Moore singing "Autumn Leaves" with The Swing Band Project.

Oh yeah. I just love female Jazz vocals. Now here's Jazz Alliance playing "Cherokee".

Now that's what I'm talking about. It's Jazz Alliance playing "Black Orpheus". Love the vibes. What a great sound.

This was our first Bebopalooza! Jazz festival and we hope it's the start of a new tradition. We had beautiful weather, great music, and an attentive audience. Jonesboro is a Jazz town and we're proud to be part of a growing Jazz scene.

The Swing Band Project plays Jazz Swing, Western Swing, and acoustic Blues. Here's The Swing Band Project again doing a Western Swing classic, Hank William's "You Win Again".

All right now, dig the lapsteel and the Jazz mandolin.

We had a great year and we'll be back in January. Jazz Thursday presents a featured act on the 4th Thursday of the month and then a performance by The Ad Hoc Combo or The Little Big Band. All musicians are invited to participate.

All the music featured on Something Blue tonight was recorded at Bebopalooza! on October 23, 2010. I want to thank the musicians who played at Bebopalooza, Ann Miller and the staff at The Edge coffeehouse, and KASU for sponsoring and promoting the show.

Closing us out tonight we've got two Jazz Standards played by Giant Steps. Here they are now with "Autumn Leaves" and "Blue Bossa".
