Cover Your Friend's Songs
I was in a conversation about music sharing with @mirlo@musician.social on Mastodon and I wrote this.
There's another form of sharing I like to do.
Cover your friend's songs.
Most live shows are some covers and some originals. The covers are almost always hits and there's a reason for this. You love the song and your audience loves the song.
Covering your friend's songs works too. It gives you a chance to talk about your friend and explain why you love their work.
This engages the audience in a way that originals and covering hits doesn't.
Try it. It works.
#music #sharing
Mirlo isn't a person. It's a music website to "Directly support artists. Buy their music. Collectively owned and managed."

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Joy Sanford Playing Wave

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear our favorite pianist play the Bossa Nova.
I was thrilled when Joy Sanford agreed to play KASU Jazz Thursday on February 24, 2011. She had helped us so many times on so many shows but always as an accompanist, never as the star of the show.
She put together a great band of regional musicians with Ron Horton on trumpet, Craig Collison drums, and Tom Mason, bass. And they really delivered, song after song. I was fortunate to get good recordings at this once in a liftime event.
Bossa Nova is Portuguese for new wave. It's a Brazilian style incorporating Samba and Jazz. The most prominent composer of Bossa Nova songs is Antonio Carlos Jobim and one of his most played songs is "Wave".
So now, here's Joy Sanford playing "Wave" at KASU Jazz Thursday on February 24, 2011.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents NJHB Playing Circular Logic
From The Archives Of Something Blue - 2025-02-09
https://sbblues.com/2025/02/09/logic/
Thanks Marty, today we'll hear a band of students play the title track from their first album.
When I came up with the idea of doing the New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts at TheArts@311 I was a jazz student at ASU. So it stood to reason that I would recruit the New Jazz House Band, known as NJHB, from my fellow students.
We had our first session at the HairyLarryLand studio in Jonesboro at the very end of 2012. We recorded four songs, all original compositions. I was the only one who had played any of them before so it was kind of like jumping off into the deep end. No rehearsals, just put the music up on the stand, talk for a minute, and record it.
I took what we recorded and released our first album, "Circular Logic".
All of what came to be known as the NJHB sound, improvising the arrangements, leaving the chord change, group improvisation, and unusual instrumentation, was on display on that first album. As always, this was the only album with this exact lineup.
Playing at the session were
Mike Lovell - guitar
Garrett Tyler - drums
Matt Jackson - bass
Hairy Larry - piano
Cody Ballard - tenor sax
and
Joseph Curtis - trumpet and flugelhorn
Garrett, Cody, Joseph, and myself were in the ASU jazz program at the time. Mike and Matt attended ASU earlier. We all lived in Northeast Arkansas except for Matt who lives in southeast Missouri.
I've got to tell you these guys all played good. The one thing that makes NJHB work is talented musicians.
We generally played arrangements from 15 to 20 minutes long. Not exactly radio friendly. I did a new mix of "Circular Logic" keeping it all there but choosing the best choruses for this podcast. Go to the Something Blue website at sbblues.com for a link to the whole album including 12 plus minutes of this song as originally released.
Ok now, going back to the very beginning, recorded on December 29, 2012, here's NJHB playing my song, "Circular Logic".

Delta Boogie Newsletter-Gamerplus News - February 2025 - Update To Delta Boogie, Three Jazz Bands, 10 Years Of The Gamer's Guild
https://home.gamerplus.org/permalink.php?fname=Delta_Boogie_Newsletter-Gamerplus_News_-_February_2025.txt
I had to do an update to my Something Blue website which involved a database upgrade and a new version of php. That broke Delta Boogie.
Every cloud has a silver lining and I decided to use this as an opportunity to move Delta Boogie into the 21st century and make it available on phones. I am also turning Delta Boogie into a plain text program, using text files to replace the database. I've been working on it.
And I'm getting there. It's one of those jobs where the more you work on it the longer your todo list grows. With the functionality of the website restored I'm now in the process of making it better.

Error reports and suggestions are welcome.

I am now recording three jazz bands, Bebop Beatniks, Jazz Buskers, and The United Gospel Trio.
The Bebop Beatniks lineup is Paul Lessard, alto; Jeremy Jackson, bass; Alex Washam, drums; and Hairy Larry, piano and vocals. So, a jazz quartet doing mostly originals and some cover songs.
https://bebopbeatniks.com
Jazz Buskers are Danielle Russell, vocals and percussion; Eliecer Tamez, vocals and trumpet; and Hairy Larry, vocals and piano. So a vocals jazz ensemble doing mostly covers and some originals.
https://jazzbuskers.com
The United Gospel Trio is my church band. I attend the Brookland United Methodist Church where I am the music director and I help with the food pantry and the youth program. Our pianist, Jackie Chandler, is on organ; Chris Cherlock, bass; I'm on piano, and Evan is the worship leader. We all sing. I call it jazz from the hymnal. We've been working on "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" and "Amazing Grace" and I have a list of spirituals and even modern pieces to add.
