Re: Songs from ULHS 2006
The band is playing "White Heat". The first version of the song was recorded by Jimmie Lunceford and his Orchestra, in 1934 I think.

Re: Lulu's back in town but who sings it?
The great Carl Sonny Leyland, master of Boogie, Blues and Jazz piano! The name of the band associated to the recording should be Hal's Angels.

Re: R. Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders
I'm amazed that we don't have a thread for these cats yet. I googled and found exactly zero discussion of them on swingdjs.com to date. The Cheap Suit Serenaders are great. I think they still perform, but only once a year in/near Berkeley. One of them, Tom Marion, lives in Los Angeles and plays wit...

What do you know about your gig and the target audience? Are you going to play during band breaks, or for an entire DJ-ed night? On average, how proficient are the dancers there? Which kind of stuff do they mostly like to hear? Classic Swing? Post-war Jazz? Etc. If you can answer these questions, or...

[Answered] I Want to Be Happy, John Reynolds' Hollywood HS
I feel I should know the title of this song by John Reynolds' & his Hollywood Hotshots. However, I cannot figure it out. FYI this was played for the finals of an amateur Collegiate Shag contest in Burbank, CA.

Re: Two songs by the Gonzalo Bergara Quartet (live)
Thank you for the second one. After having browsed a bunch of Django's recordings on Spotify, I believe that the first one is "Dinette".lipi wrote:Oh, how frustrating! First one is on the tip of my tongue...
Second one is "Them There Eyes".

[Answered] Two songs by the Gonzalo Bergara Quartet (live)
I'm trying to figure out the titles of two songs played by the Gonzalo Bergara Quartet in 2009 for an amateur Balboa contest in the L.A area. I emailed Gonzalo, but he is on tour. So I may get a faster response from this forum. :) BTW, this was an edition of the almost weekly event I co-produce/host...
