DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing Low Earth Orbit
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2023-11-20
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear some honky tonk jazz recorded live at Blues Fest.
I just finished our new jazz album, Bebop Beatniks Live At Blues Fest, so I’m featuring Bebop Beatniks on From The Archives and on Something Blue this week. Just remember, you heard it here first, on KASU. I dug way forward in the archives to bring you these songs, pre-release.
I wrote “Low Earth Orbit” in 2018 and NJHB played it on September 1, 2018 at New Jazz In Jonesboro in the Jonesboro Public Library’s Round Room.
I liked the song so much I moved it into my streaming repertoire and then onto the Bebop Beatniks short list. We’ve been playing it about a year but I don’t think we ever played it as good as we did at Blues Fest.
Featuring the incomparable Tyler Remagen on saxophone he nails it. Listen as he plays. Sometimes his tone is so strong that the sax just jumps right out of the radio and into the room.
New Jazz In Jonesboro featuring NJHB Jonesboro Public Library Round Room Saturday, November 4, at 5:00 pm Rain or Shine
Enjoy NJHB with Matt Jackson and one of his friends from Kennett. Everyone is welcome. Bring friends. Guest musicians and composers are encouraged to participate.

“sound like they are invoking some ancient black magic, when giving the old blues riffs a polish. This one is mean, lean & has no excess guitar solos wearing it down.“ #ALT77
