Jeter-Pillars Band

Anyone have any recordings or extensive info on this group? There's a piece on them in the book "Swing Out: Great Negro Dance Bands" (by Gene Fernett). The book indicates the group evolved out of the Alphonso Trent Orchestra, and included at times Harry "Sweets" Edison, Jo Jones,...

I don't have the chrono disc that Travis mentions. But, I have two tracks on the Pee Wee Russell "Best of Jazz" 1927-1944 album (hey, that's twice in as many days that I've referenced this disc!!). The tracks are "Hello, Lola" and "One Hour," and the line up is listed a...

Oh, my bad! JSP the label.... I don't have anything from them! Thanks for the heads up.

JSP? Maybe I'm blanking... what is that short for?

Anyhoo, if it's the same recording, I have it on a Pee Wee Russell "Best of Jazz" 1927 - 1944 disc -- this one: His Best Recordings 1927-44

i'm unclear on whether the bands mentioned are flowing _tempo_ or not.* i've never noticed a band going from slow to medium to fast to very fast and then back down, or repeating the cycle, but maybe that's just a matter of the bands that i tend to hear live. Well, considering the idea of tempo and/...

But I would love it if DJs would keep in mind two things: 1) bands don't care about flowing tempo and 2) switch styles up more often than every half hour or hour.

Hey... didn't see this thread before now for some reason.

No problem on the heads up. I think I'll probably be going to more of their monthly concerts. Let's get a bigger group next time!

You could rephrase the question as "does dancing to live music all the time lead the dance to be overly simplistic?" if you want. I'm going to say "no." Because I think the argument, as presented, assumes that musicality, especially "micromusicality," only happens when...

Totally guesstimating here...

35-40% hot jazz
30-35% swing era
25% groove, jump blues or post-swing era jazz and big band
5% western swing, rockabilly, doo wop, 50s rock-n-roll
