DJ Hairy Larry Presents Paul Lessard Playing White Rats And Meerkats Posted on 2025-06-22 DJ Hairy Larry Presents Paul Lessard Playing White Rats And Meerkats https://sbblues.com/2025/06/22/dj-hairy-larry-presents-paul-lessard-playing-white-rats-and-meerkats/ Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a song I wrote this year and recorded at HairyLarryLand. Paul Lessard is one of the finest jazz saxophonists I have ever worked with. When he joined the faculty at ASU I went to meet him to talk about music composition because, the truth is, there’s just not that many people into the nuts and bolts of music theory and composition. When I found out that he played jazz saxophone I knew I wanted to play with him. He played with Bebop Beatniks on the KASU Arkansas Roots Stage at the Beatles At The Ridge Festival in 2024. Then he played with us again at Blues Fest and we recorded the album, “The Blue Crane”, on our second gig together. Then this year, over Spring Break, my friend Chris Isom was coming to town and I set up a session with an amazing band and we recorded an album, “1625 Groove Street”. I wrote two of the songs on that album, the title track and “White Rats And Meerkats” which I have seleceted to play for you today. ... more at the link

Anniston Orion Overstreet Posted on 2025-06-16 Anniston - Orion Overstreet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enDUO_lUDTo&t=1s Song I wrote performed with some help from the birds, bugs and wind. Thank you birds bugs and wind! ... Lyrics at the link above. --- Jay Shepherd sent me this video. I replied with this mini review. I like everything about the music and everything about the production. The banjo technique is more like finger picked guitar but with the banjo ring and very minimalist. Then the drone voice and the extended vocal techniques to spoken word and sung parts. The shot, through the grass with the sun in the back gives enormous variation from bright to shadow. And the length of the piece played without hesitation or mistake.
DJ Hairy Larry Presents The Funk Donors Singing Troubled Posted on 2025-06-16 DJ Hairy Larry Presents The Funk Donors Singing Troubled https://sbblues.com/2025/06/15/dj-hairy-larry-presents-the-funk-donors-singing-troubled/ Thanks Marty, today we’re going to bring the funk as played by a band that was popular here in Jonesboro before the pandemic. Of course I’m talking about The Funk Donors. I never did get to hear them play live but I knew them by their reputation and I wanted to go see them since some of my friends were in the band. Fortunately they recorded a great album, “Flatland” and if you love live music like I do you can watch their videos on Youtube. This all started when I went to see luvtrst. play at Stage Too. I was talking to Brian Nobles when he mentioned that he used to play in a band with Cody Ballard, the saxophonist in luvtrst. Well, my inquiring ears want to hear so I found out about the band and their album, “Flatland”. --- So what I try to do in shows like this is place local music in the context of what's happening globally with other musicians in the same general sphere. Both to understand the value of what these local bands are doing and to show how they fit into the larger conversation.

Jazz Improv Strategies Posted on 2025-06-10 Jazz Improv Strategies From an email exchange with a former teacher. That's the way I approach solos. I write a solo (without notation) and play it a lot learning from mistakes. Then I develop a strategy which is basically key centers but sometimes this part of the chromatic scale works here or here's a good way to play this turnaround. Then I write another solo. Use the same process to develop a strategy. And then I can mix and match. By then I can play either solo, use either strategy, mix and match, or improvise freely embracing the mistakes which can be quite interesting. And I also start with singing and I try to get where I can sing when I play. |

Gregg and Duane Allman at the Martinique, Daytona Beach, Florida, 1966.
So much really great music came to us through him.
