Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear jazz from NJHB recorded at the very beginning.

I was planning on starting the New Jazz In Jonesboro concerts at TheArts@311 in 2013. It was Christmas break so I scheduled a session on December 29, 2012, with the founding members on NJHB.

I was rolling tape but I wasn’t really expecting to record an album. Turns out we played pretty good and we did. We recorded live in the studio, with just two mics recording the room, and we did it the NJHB way. We improvised the arrangements. We recorded four songs. I think I was the only musician there who had ever played them before. As I usually do with NJHB songs I made a radio mix for Arkansas Roots.

In our favor we had a room full of outstanding musicians.

Mike Lovell – guitar
Garrett Tyler – drums
Matt Jackson – bass
Hairy Larry – Fender Rhodes
Cody Ballard – tenor sax
and
Joseph Curtis – trumpet and flugelhorn

Every one of these musicians attended ASU, all but one played in the jazz band. And we were all from Northeast Arkansas except Matt Jackson, who lives in the Missouri Bootheel.

Since then NJHB has played at The Arts@311, the Craighead Forest Bandshell, the Fine Arts Recital Hall, the ASU Bandroom, the new HairyLarryLand studio, and at the Jonesboro Public Library Round Room.

And I have plans for 2025. More New Jazz In Jonesboro. So be informed. Visit deltaboogie.com and sign up for my newsletter. Get a magic missive every month courtesy of electrons.

Ok now, Here’s NJHB playing my song, “Circular Logic” recorded on December 29, 2012
