Fats Waller and James P. Johnson used to have cutting contests all the time. They respected each others talents too. I don't think there was any ill will because they idolized each other. I have never seen a cutting contest. Quite frankly, where I have lived in the last few years there aren't enough...

I have a friend that has a song dedicated to him. Everytime he is at a dance that I dj, I spin Sinatra's "Here's to the Losers." He still doesn't get the joke!

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this program? I want to convert some old records and such to mp3 format and was wondering if this was any good.

I agree that boogie woogie is very danceable, but there is some that isn't. There is some hard core Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis that would be very difficult to dance to (Lindy at least).

There are a lot of different styles of Boogie Woogie. Some is less danceable than others. Big Band Boogie Woogie is more danceable than strait piano boogie. This is from the jazzinamerica.org website: Some of the characteristics of boogie woogie are: 1. It was born in gin mills, lumber camps and ren...

I did some searching for boogie woogie in NA, but all I found were workshops taught on it back in '99 from import instructors. A talented boogie danc...

The battle was awesome! The Arizona Big Band with Dennis Rowland schooled the Arizona All-Stars, but the trumpet player from the All-Stars was amazing! He could blow like Cootie Williams, and was extremely humble about it. It was classic Webb/Goodman. That sounds great. Dennis Rowland played with B...

Hadda Brooks has a few songs he threw classical music into. Hungarian Rhapsody #2 in Boogie is pretty good. I got them off of the Boogie Box.

Johnny Boyd made his first appearance in 5 years on Friday night! He was amazing! If you missed this event, you missed a weekend of amazing music! Did he sit in with the band, or bring his own band, or what? He sat in with the band, but Josh Workman was playing in the band. They had a great time on...

I know this is going to sound lame, but one of my non-dancing friends gave me a CD by the "Dutch College Swing Orchestra." I thought it would be lame, but it actually has some great stuff on it. Every time I play stuff from it, people really seam to dig it. I love the Dutch Swing College ...
