Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a jazz standard played In The Loft at The Edge.
The Common Time Quartet played some cooking jazz and blues. I was happy to book them on a double bill at The Edge Coffeehouse featuring The Common Time Quartet and Bebop Beatniks.
Unfortunately their sax player, Josh Carter, couldn’t make the gig. Fortunately they got Tyler Remagen to sub. So they delivered a little bit different sound with Tyler on tenor instead of Josh’s scorching alto sax.
Playing the gig were Alex Ditto, guitar; Spencer Rawlins, bass; Chris Issom, drums; and Tyler Remagen, tenor sax, all ASU students in the jazz program at the time and all of them from Northeast Arkansas.
All of these musicians helped me with my composition recitals and at one time or another played with Bebop Beatniks. Tyler Remagen played tenor sax in Bebop Beatniks for years and is featured on both of the albums.
So now, recorded In The Loft at The Edge on May 6, 2017, here’s The Common Time Quartet playing the jazz standard, “All Of Me”.
And that’s The Common Time Quartet playing “All Of Me” In The Loft at The Edge on May 6, 2017. Don’t miss Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00, for more great jazz from Common Time, Garage A Trois, and Charlie Hunter.

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear one of my songs played in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.
Bebop Beatniks have been playing jazz in Jonesboro for a long time now. Earlier this year I put together a retrospective album. I searched all of our live performances for original songs and then I selected the best of these to put on the album, “Church”. I will include a link to the whole album on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.
On November 1, 2016, we played a composition recital in the Fine Arts Recital Hall. I picked my song “Dragonflight” for this week’s podcast. Playing on the song were Sid Davis and Chris Wilson - trumpet, Nicholas Graves - alto, Jonathan Vickers - tenor, Austin Lynn - trombone, Kyle Kempf - bass, Alex Washam - drums, and Larry Heyl - piano. All ASU students at the time and almost all of us from Northeast Arkansas.
