DJ Hairy Larry Presents Lady Bird Featuring Paul Lessard On Alto Sax
From the Archives Of Something Blue 2025-12-21
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear some amazing alto sax work recorded at HairyLarryLand.
So part of this equation is Paul Lessard playing alto sax with me while he was teaching at ASU. He’s an absolutely fantastic player who thinks on his feet and took a lot of the load off of me by cueing transitions in the songs, keeping the band tight.
Another part of the equation was Chris Isom and Spencer Rawlins. I played with them when we were taking jazz together at ASU but more importantly they played in the working band, Common Time, and developed a tight drums and bass lock while paying their dues.
And the third part of the equation, I was a math student and I do realize that I’m stretching my metophor, is Craig Collison, former Director of Percussion at ASU, former Bebop Beatnik, and, most importantly, my friend and teacher.
