Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a contemporary jazz song recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday.

Gary Gazaway’s “El Buho” band was a popular touring act so it was great to get Gary to play at Jazz Thursday. We were putting on monthly shows at TheArts@311 in downtown Jonesboro and, don’t get me wrong, all the bands that played were great. I feature music from all of these shows on Something Blue and on my podcast, From The Archives Of Something Blue.

But we were really excited to get Gary Gazaway to put together a fusion band to play his compositions for us at Jazz Thursday. Gary has played with everyone, all over the world, from Steve Winwood and Joe Cocker to Phish. And he had great musicians in his band including Victor Wooten and my friend, Dr. Perry Osborne, a Jonesboro guitarist who did his undergraduate work at ASU.

Playing with Gary at Jazz Thursday on June 27, 2013 were

Patrick Fusco – keyboards
Doc Samba – Bass
Pee Wee Jackson – drums

Besides playing trumpet Gary is a gifted jazz composer and he wrote most of the songs they played that night, including the song we’re going to hear now, “Leviathan”. Gary told me he wrote “Leviathan” in 2003.

Mark Smith, who is now station manager, welcomed the audience to Jazz Thursday. Later he told me it was one of his favorite shows. I have to agree with him there.

So now, recorded at KASU Jazz Thursday on June 27, 2013, here’s Gary Gazaway playing “Leviathan”.
