I've spent lots of time researching, actively seeking out and dancing to Trad Jazz groups and Jeff's is one of the best. Sure bands like the Titan Hot Seven's and th...

Ham's music was awesome. Walking up to the Century and hearing the music outside felt like various descriptions of the Savoy. My only suggestion would be to play a little more mid-tempo stuff when the room is that crowded. I was talking to Ham about his music awhile ago and I remember him saying so...

Yeah I had a radio show for 3 years while at University. For the first year I did a indie rock show and played a bunch of cool underground and indie Canadian stuff. Then for two years I did a Monty Python show. Because it was a specialty show I could get away with alot of crazy stuff and skip the Ca...

I have asked myself the question before, is it not hypocritical to criticize somebody for being is overly harsh to his fellow DJ? The answer is that I am bit hypocritical in that regard.

My current JRM favourites are both from the Chronogical classis series. I've got 1928-29 and 29-30 and they both rock. Many of the recordings are done with various orchestras. I especially love many of the tracks he does with his Hot Peppers. Both C.D's are very good for you lovers of early big band...

I only wish I had access to the Vancouver Public Library, they got some stuff I've been hunting for everywhere and have been yet to find except from there.

Not to mention you can listen to a lot of stuff you wouldn't have found otherwise; and you can listen to the entire CD; and that there are a lot of CDs out there that aren't available on the Internet anymore. Not to mention stuff you didn't know even existed. I've found stuff that doesn't come up o...
