There is also the option of renting storage space online and uploading all your music to an off-site server. elephantdrive.com has unlimited storage space but you can only upload 100 gigs per month, or about 200 cds if you rip to flac format. Might be quite a long term project to upload some of our ...

You probably have the Carnegie Hall 'complete'. The 1950 album version had been edited, and it went unnoticed for a while.

Whoops, I misread the question. You're asking for both 2-beat feel and 4-beat in the same song? Listen to Red Hot Pepper from Wynton Marsalis' album "Mr. Jelly Lord". The end of the amazon.com clip transitions into a four beat feel.

Mr. Ghost Goes To Town is 2-beat feel. The bass plays on 1 and 3. The rhythm overall is somewhat choppy. Charleston (the dance) is also choppy. Natch is four beat feel: the bass emphasizes all four beats of each bar equally. In fact the rhythm section plays fairly evenly on all four beats. Lindy ho...

One famous edit is chopping out Freddie Green's entire solo from Benny Goodman's Live at Carnegie Hall album. Given how rarely he soloed, that was really surprising when it was discovered. They also removed a few choruses from other musicians too. These edits were performed in (I think) the fifties ...

No one musician makes or breaks a band, but the rhythm section as a whole is crucial for determining the feel. The drummer is a fairly important part of the rhythm section. I think the musicians are more in tune with what the drummer is doing than dancers are, but that's to be expected. Unfortunatel...

Essentially modern jazz big band, but if you're a fan of a flaming reeds and screaming brass, this might be your thing.

Here's Krupa: http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/GeneKrupashowtime.html This isn't too representative since Gene is trying to be flamboyant instead of playing a basic swing rhythm, but I think it's pretty evident the accent is on 1 and 3, on the hi-hat. So there's an accent on 1 (stick hitting the h...
