Something Blue - So What

Welcome to Something Blue. Tonight we're featuring recordings of Jazz Alliance made at the Public Library's Fall Concert Series on September 27, 2011. Besides some great music members of the band give us a glimpse into the era of Jazz known as Bebop and Post Bop and then they end with a Swing era standard. So I'm going to turn it over to Mike Overall, on the lawn, at the Jonesboro Public Library.

And that's Jazz Alliance at the Jonesboro Public Library, Ron Horton, trumpet; Craig Collison, vibes; David Eckert, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. We heard "There Will Never Be Another You" and "Recordame". Great music recorded for Something Blue right here in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Just like tonight featuring Jazz Alliance. Ron Horton and Craig Collison teach at ASU and David Eckert and Mike Overall work at the Public Library. Our intro and outtro music is "Blues In A Hurry" from the Jazz Alliance CD, Partly Cloudy.

The rest of the recordings we're playing tonight were part of the Public Library's Fall Concert Series. I'm going to let Ron introduce these next two songs, Au Privave and Black Orpheus.

Whether you call it Modal, Post Bop, or Cool Jazz, Miles Davis revolutionized the Jazz World with his Kind Of Blue album. We're going to hear Jazz Alliance play Miles' song "So What". Then they will end their show with a swing number, "Take The A Train" by Duke Ellington. Now here's a real Jazz expert, Mike Overall, introducing the songs.
