DJ Hairy Larry Presents jazz blues fusion playing Monkey Walk

#jazz #blues #fusion – White Rats And Meerkats
Thanks Marty, Today we’re going to hear an original song played by jazz blues fusion.
jazz blues fusion is the name of the band and it’s spelled #jazz #blues #fusion. Fusion is a jazz genre based on the fusion of jazz and rock. Jazz and rock are both closely related to the blues. We’re playing blues fusion, that is fusion with an extra dose of the blues. So we play blues fusion. I know. I just made that up. I started tagging all of our songs #jazz #blues #fusion so that became the name of the band. Pronounced jazz blues fusion. I know. It gets confusing.
James Carvell played at Blues Fest with his band, Striding The Blast. When I invited him to play guitar with NJHB we really liked my new song, “Monkey Walk” and we recorded it on the NJHB album, “Live At Blues Fest”. He played his guitar with a talk box which is a really cool effect where you can make your guitar sing. I’ll post a link at the Something Blue website, sbblues.com.

So when we got together to play in jazz blues fusion of course “Monkey Walk” was on our list.
The “Monkey Walk” we’re hearing tonight was recorded on August 31, 2025, and released on our album “White Rats and Meerkats”. Playing on the album are
Eliecer Tamez, trumpet
James Carvell, guitar
Craig Collison, drums
Hairy Larry, piano and vocals
We all have a history at ASU.
Our bass player, Paul Nunis, was unable to play that night but he will be featured on Something Blue, Saturday night at 10:00. We have also added two guitarists, Logan White and David Shade, who will also be on Something Blue. Along with Weather Report so if you like fusion don’t miss it.
I don’t sing on this version. We had just dusted it off and I didn’t have the lyrics. The song does have some cool words to go with it and I will sing it, recorded at a later date, on Something Blue.
All right now, recorded at HairyLarryLand on August 31, 2025, here’s jazz blues fusion playing “Monkey Walk”.
