Jay Shepherd Live At The Delta Jazz Workshop

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear a Miles Davis song recorded right here at ASU at the Delta Jazz Workshop.

“All Blues” was written by Miles Davis and was first released in 1959 on the most popular jazz album of all time, “Kind Of Blue”. “All Blues” is a blues with it’s own sound, in 6/8 instead of 4/4, and using all 7th chords with an off chord at the turnaround. Jazz musicians love to improvise on “All Blues”. It’s so familiar and so interesting.

On July 12, 2016, Jay Shepherd played “All Blues” in the ASU Fine Arts Recital Hall as part of the jazz department’s Delta Jazz Workshop. Featured on piano on this song we will hear Jay’s partner in crime, Shane Chastain.

Now, Shane and Jay are back together again in a new band, Silver Wings, and I hope to record them again for Something Blue.

In December, 2025, I released this concert as a live album, “Jay Shepherd Live At The Delta Jazz Workshop”. It’s great, all the way through. I’ll post a link to it on the Something Blue website at sbblues.com.

Playing at the concert were:

Jay Shepherd – guitar
Tyler Worsham – piano
Shane Chastain – piano
Terrell Montgomery – bass
and
Keyven Dunn – drums

All of them are from Northeast Arkansas.

So now, recorded on July 12, 2016, here’s Jay Shepherd Playing “All Blues”.
