BOB DOROUGH, born in Arkansas and “raised” in Texas, immediately fell in love with music upon joining the Plainview Texas High School Band. He served three years in a Special Services Army Band Unit, gaining much professional experience as arranger, clarinetist, saxophonist, pianist, and entertainer (1943-45).
After earning a Bachelor Of Music degree at the University of North Texas (1949), he made a bee-line for New York City where he took classes at Columbia University and immersed himself in the volatile jazz scene then taking place there -the BeBop revolution.
In 1952 he turned his back on the academic scene to devote himself to jazz performance, specializing in piano/vocals. After years of accompanying, conducting, arranging, and playing, he made his first recording as a leader (1956) for the Bethlehem label….DEVIL MAY CARE, having written the title tune three years earlier. He is known as “the only singer to record with Miles Davis”. While this may not be 100% true, he did record two vocals with Davis, in 1962, “Nothing Like You” and “Blue Xmas,” both of which he composed.
Davis also recorded an instrumental version of Bob’s classic song, “Devil May Care,” that same year.
In 1971 he received a commission to “set the multiplication tables to music.” This led to a small industry, being the beginning of ABC-TV’s SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK, Saturday morning cartoons that entertained and instructed unsuspecting children during the years 1973-1985. The impact of this media exposure was unpredictably immense. The show came back for another five years in the 90’s and is now enjoying its 30th anniversary with a DVD edition of the entire, five-subject series, for which Dorough worked as the Musical Director.
In 1995 he signed a contract with the prestigious jazz label – Blue Note Records – and has done three CDs for them (“Right On My Way Home,” “Too Much Coffee Man“ and “Who‘s On First“).
Now residing in Pennsylvania, he has received honors from that state (the Governor’s Artist of the Year Award) and from his native state (the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame.)
In 2002 his trio was chosen to represent the State Department and Kennedy Center, as an Ambassador of Jazz and Blues. The one-month tour saw them play some 22 workshops and concerts in thirteen cities in six different countries.
Currently recording on Arbors, Candid and his own label, Bob Dorough continues to perform, often for children too, in Jazz Clubs and Schools, wherever he can.
This month’s musical guest Niall Connolly will play his songs to inspire improvised scenes. Nothing is planned; it’s all improvised. You will never see this show again!

MORE ABOUT NIALL CONNOLLY:
From New Mexico to Budapest, Niall Connolly has played over 200 concerts in 10 countries in the last year. Performing at festivals, embassies, theatres, cinemas, bookshops, hot springs, rooftops and basement bars, Connolly has built an equally loyal and diverse fanbase. A hardcore contingent of fans who have Niall’s name tattoed on their arms recently had their title challenged by an Englishman who knocked a wall in his own house so he could host a Connolly concert. In recent years he has performed at Glastonbury, The Prague Fringe Festival, The Glasgow West End Festival as well as the Cork Folk, Jazz and film festivals. He has shared the stage with countless Americana and Irish folk legends including Evan Dando, Lambchop, John Spillane, Damien Dempsey and Glen Hansard. Connolly has also had his works used in an Irish Cultural Studies course in Hungary, Advanced English Language classes in China and a philosophy class in Brooklyn. Based in New York for the last 3 years, Cork-born Niall is currently working on his fourth studio album. Expect a combination of interesting lyrics, infectious melodies and extremely well crafted songwriting from a performer who has never been afraid to stare into the abyss and tell it a bad joke.
