I'd desperately trying to pretend I don't need this set because I can't really afford it. But I think, really, I _need_ this set. I mean - Lunceford! In excellent quality! It's not so great, right? Yeah - I'm sure it's terrible. Quite certain. Ahem. Plus - I haven't even got the Ellington 1932-1940...

Dry Bones - Fats Waller (or any number of other versions)
Although the anatomical accuracy is questionable.

And maybe Communications - Slim Gaillard

Both are a bit of a stretch though.

I can quickly add a couple. 4) Six Appeal - Benny Goodman Sextet 7 / 11) Blackstick - but I don't know the version - I only have Sidney Bechet renditions. With a snippet of Slim Gaillard's Communications at the beginning. [EDIT] Found the Blackstick version - it's by an outfit called 'Renè Franc &am...

I agree completely about the search, and like anton, I've complained about the search from time to time - and I've never had a response. Using Google to search the site can work, however, so I'll often us that approach when I'm after something specific. I wouldn't be surprised if most customers simp...

From my perspective, the electro-swing folks generally have it the wrong way around - they take some swing samples / melodies, and stick them to a club beat. (I know it's probably a little more complex than that, but it's what it amounts to.) And, as Mr Awesomer says - it's useless for Lindy. I want...

How did u come across this? I am just as interested in the path to an amazing track as I am the actual track. You know - I can't actually remember for sure - I'm pretty certain it was an internet recommendation, (it might have been mentioned on one of the Confessing The Blues podcasts from Keith Sh...

http://www.emusic.com/search.html?QT=dj+wuthe&mode=b I think that the above link is wrong. Is it supposed to point to an eMusic list of songs? [edit] Or maybe, his compilations are not available on eMusic USA. Did he make them from his 78 collection?[/edit] It points to a bunch of search result...

Just come across this set of compilations put together by one 'DJ Wuthe' - two entitled 'Swing for Dancers', one slow, one medium, and four entitled 'Balboa Swing'. I've not more than glance through the 'Swing for Dancers' compilations - but it looks like there's some pretty solid stuff on them, and...

Anyway - back to the Devilsound for a moment. I've had a play now with it hooked up to a pair of Mackie SRM350s, and set things up with a mixing desk, so I could switch quickly between computer different sound outputs. So I was able to compare: Internal soundcard (Macbook Pro) Creative XMod (~£50 US...
