New Simplicity Trio - Common Spaces CD
--
Fog Swamp, Velour

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

Fog Swamp, Slinkin'

All right now, that's Fog Swamp recorded live at Hop Monk in Novato California, on June 18, 2017. I love the flute work from guest horn player, Michael Myers. Fits right in with the swamp rock.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

Now that's what I'm talking about, the New Simplicity Trio bringing clarity and melody to contemporary jazz. We heard "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and "The Seagull" from their new CD, "Common Spaces".

Closing the show we have the Brian Thomas/Alex Lee-Clark Big Band recorded live at the Ryles Jazz Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on June 1, 2017. They are blowing the blues with a seventeen piece band. Here's "21st Century Traveler" and "Rolo Tomassi". Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the Mainstream.
