SwingDJs

I was looking on www.allmusic.com the other day at Mora's Modern Rhythmists. I was a little surprised to see them under Genres: Rock & Style: Alternative Pop/Rock, Retro Swing. IMHO I can’t see how you can classify Mora's Modern Rhythmists under Rock. Can anyone see any logic behind this? Brian

Any one try anything interesting?
Did the dancers even work out the connection?

But it hasn't solved the problem yet.

I use a Newmark duel CD player when I’m DJing. And I’ve sometimes found that some CD-R’s give it problems. Generally it’s when I put the CD in, and skipping through to the last few tracks on the CD. It has no problem with the first few tracks. The thing is, this can happen randomly and can work on a...

How come this is called Rhythm Man sometimes?
And can anyone tell be is Fletcher Henderson's "Hotter than 'ell" a small change on the same composition. I'm assuming that "Hotter than 'ell" was the original.

Glen Gray & the Casa Loma Orch. is a band that I don't have much material of. I've been coming across them a few times now, and I really should get some of their albums.

Peter Loggins did hold a similar nigth, “A Salute To The Savoy”, in Memories, Whittier, California on February 22nd, 2003. The play list for it, is up on Jive Junction.

I've got "The Best of Mose Allison" link
It was on Paul Overton's must get CD list. It's not bad. I like his material once in a while. I think it is very easy to get board of him, if he is over played.
