I like to use it as follows: "Brian Setzer's music swings, but it sucks."

yeah, but Brian Setzer plays mostly 12 bar blues, so how does that work out?

sorry, i must have read over that, my bad

hahaha


yeah, like "triumph the comic insult dog"

for me to poop on!

not in the same way that makes you want to hump something, in a different way

it is very emotional for me. i get really excited when i hear it. the trumpet sends chills of joy and excitment when they let it out. its great

warning, his new CD is "different" intentional, but just not like the other ones. i find it more traditional than the others. still kick ass, but not the same

"Rhythmic Displacement"

that is how i have heard it defined, and i think those two words are all that you need. it leaves out everything else. it leaves out genre, style, technique, taste, etc.....

i played bill haley Rip It Up on saturday, downstairs at mems

but to me Barbera's music is more alive, filled with feeling and emotion. comeon now greg, that is an unfair statement to make. just listen to some of mora's stuff, itis just as alive and full of emotion as barbara's is. IMO you comment should have contained the discalimer that it is a "differ...

for the life of me, i cannot recall the definition that Chuck Niles gave on his "Mostly Bop" show on KJAZZ 88.1, down here in LA. he plays stuff from basie and ellington and the like, and he talked about that. what "identified" something as bop. it wasn't just the lack of a swing...

that is the era he plays early 30's from what i know, he goes from 27-36, if im not mistaken

The reason why I play MMR is because I don't play anything like BM. It's all oldskool swing. pure 100...

also, with sound forge. you don't have to buy, just DL the demo from the website, and some where, i dont know where i heard that you can get a serial number for it.

mine so far has to be "Swing Into Spring" by Benny Goodman from AMG: Released to tie in with a television show (Swing into Spring) in the late '50s, this LP features some exciting highlights from Benny Goodman's career including "Slipped Disc," "The Earl," a hot "U...

1- sorry for the misspelling "Coltrane" :) 2- hellzapoppin, yeah i like that. i said "for the most part" I do realize that there are going to be a few exceptions, i just didn't have time to point them all out. I have a friend who loves the shit, and tries to get me to listen to i...

not a joke. I cannot stand Miles Davis, John Coltrain, Dizzy Gilespie, Slim and Slam, the standard issued stuff from those guys. I have heard one slim gaillard song that i like, and I know that coltrain played in other bands that I like, but i am just talking about what they are known for, what gets...
