Playing on the recordings tonight are Ron Horton, trumpet; Craig Collison, vibes and drums; David Eckert, bass; and Mike Overall, drums. And on this next song, “Partly Cloudy” it’s Derek Doyle on bass.

And that’s Jazz Alliance playing “Partly Cloudy”. These songs were recorded right here in Jonesboro. You’re listening to Something Blue on KASU and I’m bringing you more live music tonight. There’s no music like live music and you can hear Jazz Alliance play in Jonesboro almost every week. I’ve got two more for you now, “Pulling Across The Lawn” and “Blues In A Hurry”.
