Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing Sweatshirt
From the Archives Of Something Blue 2026-01-18
Bebop Beatniks – Leaves
Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear an original jazz song recorded at HairyLarryLand.
Bebop Beatniks has always been a live band, playing several times a month at local venues. We have a ton of live shows on the internet at the Live Music Archive and we’ve released several albums, but only one studio album, “Leaves”.
And, of course, it’s a concept album featuring a reading from “Leaves Of Grass” by Walt Whitman, “Autumn Leaves”, a song by Paul Nunis called “At The Speed Of Love”, and three other original songs.
Today I’m going to feature a song by Sid Davis called “Sweatshirt” which quickly became one of our favorite jam tunes when playing live. It features an intro by Tyler Remagen on tenor sax and then it cooks all the way through. It’s a twelve bar blues which makes it great for improvisation.
Playing on the album are
Sid Davis – trumpet
Tyler Remagen – sax and flute
Emily Lindley – vibraphone
Alex Washam – drums and xylophone
Paul Nunis – bass and vocals
and
Hairy Larry – piano, vocals, and spoken word
All former students in the jazz program at ASU except for Paul who was on the faculty.
It’s a romp all the way through. I’ll post a link to the album at sbblues.com.
Ok now, here’s Bebop Beatniks playing the Sid Davis song, “Sweatshirt”.
