Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear an extended trumpet solo recorded at Gracie’s Place right here in Jonesboro.
I met Ron Horton when he was Director of Jazz Studies at ASU. He was playing trumpet in Jazz Alliance. I had been playing music at The Edge Coffeehouse for years so when I saw they had a jazz band playing there on Thursday nights I had to go. I liked their music and soon I was going every Thursday, recording their shows. It was great when they would invite students to jam and that’s how I first met Tim Moore and Clinton Curtis, when they were still in High School.
Ron Horton had composed some of the songs they played and I was recording them anyway so I talked to Ron about doing a Jazz Alliance album. And that’s how I produced “Partly Cloudy”, recording Ron Horton originals at live shows, until we had enough.
“Partly Cloudy” has five songs, all of them recorded at The Edge except for “Blues In A Hurry” which was recorded at Gracie’s Place on May 14, 2010.
Playing on “Blues In A Hurry” are
Ron Horton – trumpet
David Eckert – bass
Craig Collison – vibes
and
Mike Overall – drums
