Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear an original jazz song recorded at HairyLarryLand.
Bebop Beatniks has always been a live band, playing several times a month at local venues. We have a ton of live shows on the internet at the Live Music Archive and we’ve released several albums, but only one studio album, “Leaves”.
And, of course, it’s a concept album featuring a reading from “Leaves Of Grass” by Walt Whitman, “Autumn Leaves”, a song by Paul Nunis called “At The Speed Of Love”, and three other original songs.
Today I’m going to feature a song by Sid Davis called “Sweatshirt” which quickly became one of our favorite jam tunes when playing live. It features an intro by Tyler Remagen on tenor sax and then it cooks all the way through. It’s a twelve bar blues which makes it great for improvisation.
Playing on the album are
Sid Davis – trumpet
Tyler Remagen – sax and flute
Emily Lindley – vibraphone
Alex Washam – drums and xylophone
Paul Nunis – bass and vocals
and
Hairy Larry – piano, vocals, and spoken word
All former students in the jazz program at ASU except for Paul who was on the faculty.
It’s a romp all the way through. I’ll post a link to the album at sbblues.com.
Ok now, here’s Bebop Beatniks playing the Sid Davis song, “Sweatshirt”.

Dave Riley PassesPosted on 2026-01-05
RIP Dave Riley
3-19-1949 to 1-4-2026
It’s with sadness that I report the passing of my friend and longtime blues partner Dave Riley. Born and raised in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Dave Riley’s downhome blues music reflected his Delta juke joint roots. He became known in the blues world for his work with Frank Frost, Sam Carr, John Weston, and Fred James. Dave had a larger than life personality and always encouraged his audience into a rowdy good time. Dave and I met at the 2004 King Biscuit Blues Festival through Tom Coulson. Dave was living in the Chicago area, and had family in Phoenix that he visited frequently. We started working together in 2005 and immediately we recognized our stylistic great fit. This led to us recording the first of our three albums, which led to gigs, festival work and international touring. So many great shows and fantastic travel adventures!
But once the pandemic hit in 2020, Dave caught Covid and had a terrible stroke which rendered him unable to play or sing. His health gradually deteriorated and in the last few months, Dave was in and out of the hospital. I got the word of Dave’s passing from his son, Yahni yesterday afternoon. Dave will be sorely missed. So many beautiful memories. So many amazing blues performances. Rest in peace, dear Dave.
- Bob Corritore
