I'm not afraid to admit I don't preview. It's not an ideal situation - I'd really like to be able to preview, especially as my collection of music grows and it becomes impossible to keep all my music in my head. I have to 'practice' DJing regularly at home to keep myself familiar with my music and t...

Also Kid Ory does a slower version (158) which is great as well. I play that one quite a bit - dancers go nuts for it. I like the roughness of it - more shouting and stampy-clapping. (details: 'Joshua Fit De Battle Of Jericho' - Kid Ory And His Creole Jazz Band - 1946 - (I have it on an album calle...

I quite like to do the birthday/welcome/engagement/embarassment dance as the last song of my set (or to follow a DJ who does that). It means the following DJ can pretty much start from scratch (which is often quite nice when you're following a DJ who has wildly different taste to yours) and you can ...

I'm going to talk a bit about live music in Melbourne generally, as well as festivals, because I think it's worth emphasising the difference between American and Australian (or Melbournian) live jazz scenes.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000004BLK.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Try this one: Don't You Feel My Leg: Apollo's Lady Blues Singers . It ranges from fairly crude to just a little saucy, and is mostly 40s and 50s stuff. Or this one: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0000027DG.01._AA240_...

It's not exactly swing, but you can't go past Songs for Bumpy Wagon Rides (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006 ... 164?n=5174), or They Might Be Giants http://www.giantkid.net/index_bed.html.

Long time reader, first time poster... I've been DJing for a few months using itunes on my ibook, and have finally decided to up the complexity-levels of DJing by using headphones to preview songs. This, however, means adding another media player to my set up (hence the complexity). As I'm a mac per...
