It's available on iTunes, I haven't found it on CD. It's a concert recording, there are a couple different ones. IIRC, the good one is 7:57, there's another around 7:36 that starts similarly but has some solos that wouldn't be good for a dance contest. I have this live recording from 1961, where &q...

How about a [very unrelated] verb instead of the noun?

Dinah Washington's "Duck Before You Drown" .

Sidney Bechet: The Complete American Masters 1931-1953 [Box Set] Ella Fitzgerald: The Complete Masters 1935-1955 [Box Set] Charlie Parker: The Complete Masters 1941-1954 [Box Set] Billie Holiday: The Complete Masters 1933-1959 [Box Set] Louis Armstrong: The Complete Masters 1925-45 Did you see that...

Thank you!

It's been a long time since I had a mid tempo song new to me hit me like the one the Lindy Hoppers Dozen used for their ILHC 2011 routine . Maybe it's because the routine was really nice as well. It sounds like a radio broadcast version of St. Louis Blues with Ella Fitzgerald singing. I can't really...

"Stuffy" as recorded by Jonathan Stout is my runaway #1, which with absolute certainty is due to the fact that I use it all the time while teaching Balboa Swing, especially beginner classes, since it's played in a nice and slow tempo and has a very clear beat and excellent sound quality wh...

It is the first song in the video

It sounds like the 1958 recording by the Big 18.

Black and Tan Fantasy, 1961 recording by Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars and with Duke Ellington on piano

Have you tried the BPM Counter Widget?

I use iTunes-BPM, so I haven't tried the widget, but maybe it's worth a go for you...

If you're ok with a 1961 live quartet version with a little latin tinge and with Ella Fitzgerald singing (and talking a lot in the beginning), then the version on Twelve Nights in Hollywood is right there around 200+ bpm.

A "new" V-Disc favorite, especially tracks 1-4: http://www.emusic.com/album/Louis-Armst ... 02406.html

#1 and #4 are both by Ella Fitzgerald live at the Savoy, 1939 and 1940 respectively.

Wow, those are some great dancing kids. Does anone know their names? ("Lord and Lady Gate" are surely their movie character names, right?)

It seems like some of the material eventually will be available to the public. If so, I hereby call a spot at the front of the line. I wonder if this article would set you drooling as much as it does myself.... Might be a good time to start saving up some pennies. Mosaic Records in Discussions to R...

Anyone ever DJ'd this or heard it played? Just looking at a few late 30s BG tunes and realising I don't think I've ever heard this played. I think it was named after Camel cigarettes who sponsored one of Benny Goodman's radio series. The last time I played it was during my July 6th set in the Herrä...
