Fayard Nicholas passed away on January 24th at 8:30 at home! Some weeks ago he got a stroke and died now at home aged 91. We emember him at our actual online-radio-show "SwingInn" with 60 minutes fully packed with rare songs, tap-dancing and lots of swinging sounds. - We always will keep h...

Hi there, thank you for listening so much to our Swing-Inn online Radio-hour! Now online is our actual Show "Christmas Spirits" with a lot of goodies, hardly seen on modern compilations! Listen to it or download from www.owf-internetradio.de or www.swing-o-logy.de This show os remembering ...

We like Charlie's "Murder At Peyton Hall" mostly for Balboa-spinning and also "The Right Idea". - For solid Lindy Hopping we often spin the Bluebird 78 from his "Flying Home". - Do you know that incredible "Telegram For Charlie Barnet" with its congenial Bop-S...

Hi, I found recently interesting Harlequin-LPs from the mid 80's "Jazz And Hot Dance In ..." - somewhere. - It ranges from Spain, Norway, Germany, Argentinia, Russia, Trinidad up to bizarre recordings from India and Thailand, each record dedicated to one specific country, all recordings fr...

you are completely right! - The 50's recordings are missing the pure soul and spirit of the 30's, what I only meant was the sound quality! - Exelent results too come from german based Bear Family Records. - We are doing some Western Swing Compilations for them (Artwork), the results in Sound quality...

Try 2The Big 18", a bunch of veterans from the 30s and 40s Swing-era, who recorded a lot for RCA VICTOR in the late 50's (STEREO), or the Billy May work for TIME LIFE, re-recordings of the great Swing-songbook!

we think, the main problem may be, that there's a ethic distance between our younger generation and our grandparents! Seldom, a musician, we have talked to, has also talked about it! - Sometimes they did, but always with a distance! As we are operating in and from Germany, we can only check out the ...

As Katrina did a mean work, we had to collect a selection of NO.-Songs for our actual online radio-show.

Every Swing DJ, who likes to play T'aint what you do from Lunceford, should try the Sy Oliver-Version from the late 40's. It's a bit harder, than Lunceford's, has a very strong beat and misses those bloody drum-rolls at the end, that bring a lot of minor experienced dancers to stumble. Also good is ...

Hi there, we are do some tries with WAVElab and cutmaster.pro but are not satisfied to this point, although they seem to be very high skilled programs (if not used by lesser skilled persons!!!). Does anybody have some experiences with that Steinberger Cutmaster??? - Our aim is to save the tracks of ...

it`s not fast but it is soooooo groooovy:
"Summertime" by the Ravens - People here in Germany love it!

Hi, yes, we know the problem, as in Germany a lot of people, who are swing-dancing, came from Rock'n'Roll, in the best case ( or that Rock-a-Billy-vain!) As our likes go back to 30's Harlem, we have a similar situation! Our own collection ranges up to mid 50's RnB and here is the stuff that works (o...

Hi thee, we have found two recordings of girl-singer Joanne/Jeanne Burns with a band let by Adrian Rollini/Wingy Manone in 1935 for Victor and stated, they are fantastic. -The tunes "Jazz o Jazz" and "I got a need for you" and the singer (composer as well). We did some research, ...

at www.owf-internetradio.de we have recently done a show about Valaida with rare pe and a few post-war tracks, in total nearly 60 mins of music! - Maybe this show is still in the archive of the station! We love her music and her style and hope, that a lot of people will do so! If there's interest in...
