If you aren't super picky, give a listen to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Respect_to_Nat
This is the only album (that I know of) where Oscar Peterson sings. Apparently he didn't do it very often because his voice sounds EXACTLY like Nat King Cole, and I am not exaggerating one bit.

I like foobar2000 but one thing is driving me nuts which I can't seem to figure out. In almost every other DJ package you can select a song from the UI and add it to a playlist while the current song continues playing. There seem to be several f2k components for adding songs to a 'queue' playlist, b...

Basie's book had waltzes and Latin numbers. And, judging by a few CD releases, horrible arrangements of James Bond and Beatles songs. I think some musicians are afraid to change their material to accomodate audiences because they perceive it as 'selling out', artistically speaking. The problem with ...

On that tour members of LCJO (although not Marsalis) came down to Memories in Orange County and jammed with dancers. I was at the San Diego Exchange about 90 miles away at the time but I drove back up for the night, and then back down when they were done. Josh Collazo (drummer for the Campus Five, n...

6) Timing -- The breaks and ending are all predictable. The thing I HATE about older songs is that I don't know when they're ending so I can apply a big finish. It's like they just stop mid-beat sometimes. As far as the end of a song, that's odd to me. Most older swing songs employ 32 bar or 12 bar...

This is a way-out-of-left-field suggestion, but I think it would be cool if a syllabus for swing DJs could include talking to swing musicians to hear their take on music and playing for dancers. You assume that jazz musicians have any more idea about playing for dancers than DJ's do. Most don't kno...
