MANNISH [POSTER] BOY FOR POST-WAR CHICAGO BLUES & CHESS RECORDS.
NOTE: ^See what I did there. Only hardcore blues nuts will know.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on the crucial electric bluesman who in the 1940s and 1950s led the way in transforming traditional Delta blues into the electric Chicago blues style that paved the road to rock ‘n’ roll – MUDDY WATERS (1914-1983), illustrated by William Stout for his “Legends of the Blues” portraits series.
“Perhaps no other player represents post-war Chicago blues and Chess Records like Muddy Waters does. Sexy, classy, admired and feared, Muddy excited groups like THE ROLLING STONES and MANFRED MANN. His thrilling records were covered by most of the British blues bands. Muddy’s recording of Willie Dixon’s "You Need Love” was lifted by the SMALL FACES and perfromed as “You Need Loving” on one of their first LP’s. Robert Plant saw the Small Faces perform it live, then turned it into LED ZEPPELIN’s “Whole Lotta Love,” not realizing the song’s earlier origins.
“What color should I make the background?,” was a question I often asked myself during the creation of “Legends of the Blues,” wanting as much variety as possible. In Muddy’s case the choice was obvious: something suggesting the color of mud.“
– WILLIAM STOUT (American painter/fantasy artist/illustrator/blues music aficionado)

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a song I wrote that NJHB played at my Senior Recital.
The Senior Recital is a rite of passage for music students, the most important recital in their undergraduate studies. My recital was on November 8, 2013, and I had been playing all year with NJHB, the New Jazz House Band. It only made sense to me to bring this rehearsed act to the Fine Arts Recital Hall to close the recital with 4 of my original compositions.
My song, “Colossus”, was one of our favorites and we kicked off the NJHB set with it.
This recording of Colossus featured Arkansas musicians, Suzanne Michell - vocals, Addison Boling - drums, Matt Jackson - bass, Jay Shepherd - guitar, Don Bowyer - trombone, Joseph Curtis - trumpet, Cody Ballard - tenor sax, and Hairy Larry - piano and vocals.

Thanks Marty, today we’re hearing a Wayne Shorter standard played by Jay Shepherd at the Delta Jazz Workshop.
I took Jazz Arranging with Jay Shepherd and we both had a good class. Jay continued on to take a Masters in guitar performance and then taught at ASU until he moved to the other side of the state. I would still see him every year at the Delta Jazz Workshop where we worked together again teaching jazz improvisation and playing in the workshop’s small groups.

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear some jazzy blues recorded live at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.
Mike Dollins is a blues musician and promoter from Little Rock. We had the idea to have an Arkansas Blues Caravan bringing musicians from all over the state to perform at the Bandshell. The acts performing included Suzanne and Fred, Sandy and Roy McCann, Ben “Swamp Donkey” Brenner, Jawbone and Jolene, and Mike “Whiskerfish” Dollins and The Big Blue Cats.
It was great weather with everyone enjoying everybody else’s blues. A good time was had by all, the musicians and the audience.
Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear an original jazz song accompanying a spoken word poem by Walt Whitman.
The nice thing about the Delta Jazz Workshop is getting to play with musicians you haven’t seen for a year, as well as musicians you’ve just met.
On July 10, 2019, Bebop Beatniks were playing the Wednesday night concert featuring the working piano trio with Jeremy Jackson on bass, Alex Washam - drums, and Hairy Larry on piano.
Kevin Tinker was on trumpet and Emily Lindley on vibes. Both Kevin and Emily had played with us for years.
We also featured our frequent guest, Jay Shepherd on guitar. Rounding out the horns we had Michael McGowan on tenor sax. This was the first and only gig, so far, that Bebop Beatniks had McGowan as a guest beatnik.

“Every now and then a clear harmonic cry gave new suggestions of a tune that would someday be the only tune in the world and would raise men’s souls to joy.”
