Jazz Alliance – Live at Jonesboro Public Library on 2011-09-27
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a Disney song recorded at the Jonesboro Public Library.
And not just any Disney song. From the animated classic, “Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs”, “Someday My Prince Will Come” has become a classic and a jazz standard. Disney asked Frank Churchill to write something quaint. I think he outperformed his instructions.
The song was covered by Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, and Jazz Alliance. I had the great good fortune to record the Jazz Alliance concert at the Jonesboro Public Library on September 27, 2011,for Something Blue.
Playing at the concert were
Ron Horton – trumpet
Craig Collison – vibes
David Eckert – bass
and
Mike Overall – drums
I met Mike Overall in the eighties during my first extended stretch at ASU. I visited in his home following the Maynard Ferguson concert and played with him then and many other times.
Ron Horton and Craig Collison both taught me jazz at ASU after I retired and returned to school to complete my music degree.
David Eckert worked at the Jonesboro Public Library and set up this concert. He also taught bass at ASU.
Friends of mine, these musicians helped me with Blues Fest, Jazz Thursday, and Bebopalooza! There’s a place in my heart for all of them.
Mike Overall passed in 2014. I sang with Wally Fowler at his wake. Craig Collison and Gary Gazaway were in the band.
So, with a tear in my eye, here’s Jazz Alliance playing “Someday My Prince Will Come”.
