I've really been enjoying my Mike McQuaid's Late Hour Boys CD. I've just seen a clip of them doing 'Blame It On The Blues' last year which is neat. This band's on at MSF this year - wahoo! McQuaid keeps a blog as well: http://rhythmoftheday.blogspot.com/ which is nice. Oh, and I also saw the Ozcats ...

Thanks

The song is great, but the ending of this routine is better.


AAAAARRRRRRRHHIIIIIII!!!!

A recent visit from Andy Schumm and Josh Duffee resulted in the Hot Jazz Alliance, playing the arsehole ends of town, without enough PR to get us all there. Sob.

But the visit did produce some brilliant clips:

Yes, but what track ranks after "Don't Cha"?

i had to put that in the googles and then I was all like you know it!!!1!!! and then i was

There's some fucking GREAT Crosby stuff on this transcripts album on emusic.

You know what my most-played track is. Even though I've only played it once this year.

I always have trouble getting CDs out of the cases.

RE the track details. I use itunes, which uses gracenote, but I added data to the individual track as well (eg which musicians were on which tracks, etc).

The search is sucktown, but I'm going to stick with it because: - it's a cheap, reliable download site. That means I don't have to pay the shipping costs from America (where I buy most of my CDs), I don't have to use the itunes store (and I don't have access to amazon), I can buy something at the la...

@Russell:

@CountBasi: you can buy the McQuaid stuff through their websites



I have just stumbled over this cool (but abbreviated!) clip of the Cope Street Parade (Sydney) with Eamon McNelis (Melbourne): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjJxXMd6r2c& It's really cool.

Gong-Oh: some of these guys are available on itunes. Stoneking's band (and recordings) feature(d) a few high profile Melbourne jazz musicians, including some of the blokes from Virus). The Cope Street Parade are another Sydney band that are a bit popular atm. They've just put clip on youtube and hav...

They veer a little to far towards the wrong sort of bow-tie/straw boater/wacky waistcoat side of things sometimes, but the New Wolverines Jazz Orchestra have a few albums and I quite like my 'From Bix To Duke' CD, though it's not top shelf. They don't have a proper website, and that's the only half ...

I did have a look to see if there was a thread discussing this already, but I could have information management-fail. Apologies if I missed an existing thread. Here are some Australian bands that I DJ regularly, go to see and dance to regularly, or who I just plain like. There are a million more, bu...

Thanks for the tips! With regard to the Australian music.... I stumbled on Hot Club Sandwich, though. Stompin' At Kaos on their Green Room album has got some promise so I might get that. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001ILJ9BG/ref=dm_dp_trk1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299570733&sr=301-3 They're fro...

I'd be curious to see if you could get many contemporary Australian bands on the uk amazon downloads. Will you let us know if you do? 3 Live things off the top of my head which I quite like: We talked about Ellington live at the Hollywood Empire somewhere else. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/...

Awesome.
