Thanks Marty. Today we're going to hear jazz, in space!
When I was writing for NJHB back in 2018 I wrote some titles based on physics, "Cold Fusion", "Quantum Blues", and "Entanglement", followed by some titles based on space flight, "Stratospheric", "Artificial Gravity", and "Low Earth Orbit".
"Low Earth Orbit" was the most accessible and the most fun to play and I have kept it in my repertoire ever since I wrote it, live streaming it through the pandemic and then playing it with Bebop Beatniks and Jazz Buskers.
The song is loosely based on "I've Got Rhythm" except even easier and played in a slow shuffle beat. I call it Honky Tonk jazz. Great for slow dancing.
Bebop Beatniks played it this year at Beatles At The Ridge and then again at Blues Fest. Like last year, our Blues Fest performance was exceptional, and I am releasing an album recorded at the bandshell on September 29, 2024, called "The Blue Crane".
Check the Something Blue website at sbblues.com for links. Also the Bebop Beatniks website is at bebopbeatniks.com.
The rhythm section at Blues Fest was Jeremy Jackson, bass; Alex Washam, drums; and I'm on piano. We all live in Northeast Arkansas. We featured a new saxophonist, Dr. Paul Lessard, who is on the faculty in the music department.
Ok now, recorded September 29, 2024, at Blues Fest, here's Bebop Beatniks playing "Low Earth Orbit".
