SwingDJs

A while since I have been here - I had to remember my username. I have not been so active as a lindy hop DJ in recent years due to moving cities and child responsibilities. Doing more WCS and blues DJing. Agreed that discussion is more fragmented between the sources listed. I blame Facebook as the m...

Missed this topic the first time around but echo the same experiences regarding the technical side and also the musical trends side as Trevor (maybe because we are both Australian based - though Perth has always had the reputation of playing traditional lindy hop music). One thought I would add is t...

Thanks for the tip - a copy of the book is making it's way to Australia. The song mp3s on the website sound good. Nice small group stuff that is great for balboa.

Maybe another suggestion for a Mosaic set

Just starting to work my way through the Duke Ellington - I have ripped it and put the years in. Started to look at some old favourites to compare e.g. The Gal from Joe's (1938). The sound is so much better than the "The Duke: The Columbia Years (1927-1962)". And the alternate track is eve...

Jimmy Dorsey - King Porter Stomp (version I have off Contrasts)

Does sound like a Count Basie tune but ...

it is Jamaica Jam - Teddy Powell

Sounds great. I will have to work hard to make sure it all works. DP - they might have a gig in Wollongong as well. But Canberra will best. I think they will have John Scurry on guitar who is mentioned here: http://jazzlives.wordpress.com/2010/11/29/john-scurrys-reverse-swing/ and of course Michael ...
