Jazz Alliance – Partly Cloudy

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear an original jazz song recorded right here, in Jonesboro.

In my sixties I started attending the Jazz Alliance concerts, enjoying the music and eventually recording an album of Ron Horton originals. Ron was on trumpet and Craig Collison played vibraphone. They were both teaching at ASU at the time so they were my gateway back into the Music Department where I took Marimba from Mr. C and Jazz Improv from Dr. Horton.

I already knew Craig Collison because he played drums on the Joe Lee album, “Boppin’ At The Forest”, that I recorded in 2001.

You’ve heard of one name celebrities like Cher or Drake. Well, Craig is a one letter celebrity known to all his students as Mr. C.

And I’m still playing with Mr. C. He played vibes on my 1625 Groove Street album and he is currently playing with my new band, #jazz #blues #fusion.

The song I picked to play today features

Ron Horton – trumpet
David Eckert – bass
and
Craig Collison – drums

Ron and David have moved out of Jonesboro but we are still glad to have Craig as part of our local jazz scene.

So now, recorded at the Edge Coffeehouse on October 23, 2009, here’s Jazz Alliance playing “Pulling Across The Lawn”.
